About Lidor

Lidor Kohen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and career difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew.

Her style is person-centered and collaborative. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations are direct and paced to match what the person can handle in the moment.

In clinical work she addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant personality traits, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people coping with body image, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and the effects of adoption or foster care.

Lidor uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and emphasizes building skills that help with day-to-day social and work interactions. She talks through concrete strategies for managing anxiety and improving confidence in social settings. Work on relationship and career issues includes communication practice and planning next steps.

Sessions are set up to focus on measurable progress and on what feels doable. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment. The counselor notes that costs vary with location and that subscriptions used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and how they work online

Two common evidence-based approaches used in this therapist's work are skills-based anxiety management and goal-focused problem solving. Skills-based anxiety management teaches specific techniques for reducing physical and mental symptoms of anxiety, such as breathing and pacing strategies, and is useful for social anxiety and panic-prone moments. Goal-focused problem solving breaks larger issues into manageable steps and helps with career decisions, relationship conflicts, and day-to-day stress.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and the client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms appear day to day. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on progress and practical needs.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler way to start, while video sessions allow for face-to-face interaction and practice in social skills. The therapist will discuss which format best matches scheduling, comfort with being on camera, and the kinds of exercises planned for sessions.
