About Jusup
Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems with a straightforward, practical approach. Sessions are offered in English and Indonesian to accommodate bilingual clients.
He works to make therapy feel like a calm conversation rather than a lecture. Jusup listens first to understand what matters most, then helps people try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He uses evidence-informed methods to tackle unhelpful thoughts and painful emotions. In practice he blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means clients set goals and then learn skills to shift thinking and behavior between sessions.
He also uses emotionally-focused ideas to improve how people connect and communicate in close relationships. Jusup has seven years of clinical experience helping people through losses, life transitions, and trauma. He commonly supports those dealing with addiction, grief, family-of-origin issues, and patterns like codependency or avoidance.
He pays attention to identity and intimacy concerns as they come up in therapy. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Starting is a simple process: select the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that works with the therapist's availability.
Practical approaches for online therapy and connection
Jusup uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's experience and goals, creating space to talk through what matters most and decide next steps together. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used alongside this approach to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice specific skills that reduce anxiety and change everyday behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one technique fits all. That means revisiting strategies as progress is made and choosing ways of working that feel useful and realistic.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging makes therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity during transitions.
