About Aakanksha
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with six years of experience, Aakanksha Punj focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and career concerns. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a collaborative, direct style to help people make practical changes. Sessions are in English and aimed at individuals seeking clearer coping skills and improved emotional regulation.
Aakanksha brings personal perspective as a former Division I athlete and an immigrant. She understands pressure around performance, transitions, and feeling like you must hold everything together. That background informs how she talks about expectations, identity, and the stress of change.
In sessions she looks for patterns that keep people stuck. She will help process unresolved experiences and build skills for emotional regulation. The goal is to reconnect with a steadier sense of self and reduce the cycle of overwhelm.
She works directly and collaboratively. Therapy focuses on practical steps and evidence-based techniques rather than simply managing symptoms. Conversations are geared toward identifying goals and testing strategies that fit a client's daily life.
Aakanksha also addresses areas related to adoption and foster care, attachment issues, dependent personality traits, drug and alcohol addiction, family problems, guilt and shame, immigration concerns, impulsivity, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural matters, process addictions, women's issues, and challenges faced by young adults. Those topics are integrated into the work as relevant to each person.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and practical arrangements are confirmed when booking.

How evidence-based methods translate to remote work
Aakanksha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to present concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing past experiences and building emotional regulation skills to manage trauma responses and addiction triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats when booking to learn whether sessions are video, phone, or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach coping skills, run focused behavioral exercises, and maintain regular contact while clients work on goals between meetings.
