About Justine
Justine Tetteh is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing career challenges, major life changes, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches work with the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Justine aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable rather than overwhelming. In sessions she listens for practical patterns that cause extra stress. Then she and the client look for small, testable changes to try between meetings.
Conversations stay focused on what matters now and what can realistically shift in daily life. She also provides support around chronic illness, caregiver strain, and the emotional challenges that come after a brain injury. Communication problems, isolation, and forgiveness are other areas she addresses with clients.
People who come to her often want straightforward tools and steady support. She works with mood concerns including postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder, as well as personality and mood disorder presentations. Her work includes attention to prejudice and discrimination and their effects on well-being.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Justine asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment that fits their needs.
How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy
Many clients benefit from focused, evidence-based techniques that target symptoms and daily functioning. One helpful approach is short-term skills work that teaches practical tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as paced breathing and simple behavioral steps to reduce avoidance. These methods are useful for worry, panic, social anxiety, and low mood.Another common approach involves structured problem-solving and goal-setting to tackle career stress and life transitions. This style breaks large problems into manageable tasks and tracks small wins, which can build confidence and restore motivation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about a person's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's daily life and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when sitting on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue steady support despite life changes.
