Ilona Bakman

I am a mental health counselor with over 13 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of diagnoses. I provide professional, compassionate, and person-centered care in a safe virtual space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. My approach focuses on strengthening problem-solving, communication, and relational skills while increasing self-awareness around patterns such as attachment styles, core beliefs, schemas, and the role of the ego. I help clients develop greater discernment, emotional balance, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others, empowering lasting healing and personal growth.

My approach may blend cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), with a certainty of person-centered approach to empower you in overcoming challenges and fostering growth. I look forward to working together to create a positive change in your life.

Clients often feel empowered, reduced anxiety, equipped, at ease, collected, structured and have a greater sense of direction after sessions.
