About Justine
Justine Tetteh is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She brings four years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, motivation, and self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.
Justine sees clients who are navigating career challenges and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and the weariness that can come from caregiving roles.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She treats the person as the expert on their own life while offering structure and guidance.
That might mean setting short-term goals, practicing new ways to handle stress, or working on confidence and motivation. Justine has additional experience with chronic pain, illness, and disability concerns and with mood and personality disorder symptoms. She also addresses social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, postpartum depression, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Conversations often include problem-solving and coping strategies tailored to daily life. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her approach is practical and focused on helping people find clearer direction and more reliable ways to manage anxiety and everyday stress.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Justine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping. One approach emphasizes structured coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress in day-to-day life, teaching breathing, activity planning, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another approach centers on building self-esteem and motivation through goal setting, behavioral experiments, and small achievable tasks that reinforce confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls let people use visual cues and a conversation similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or for people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other everyday demands.
