About Jusup
Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor in New York. He uses a clear, person-focused approach to help people facing anxiety, depression, and stress. Jusup also addresses relationship pain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and questions about identity and intimacy.
He starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions are aimed at practical steps - from improving communication to managing upsetting thoughts. Jusup blends client-centered work with techniques that help change unhelpful thinking and build stronger emotional habits.
Background and approach
Over seven years, he has supported people through grief, career shifts, parenting strain, and complications from family of origin and blended family dynamics. He also helps with attachment concerns, codependency, commitment fears, and issues tied to body image or caregiver stress. Language support is available in English and Indonesian.
Jusup uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness to make change feel doable. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals and steps are reviewed often. This keeps the work relevant to real life demands like work, parenting, and recovery from substance use.
People who choose him can expect straightforward conversations and practical exercises between sessions. He supports clients dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, intimacy challenges, and life transitions. The focus is on helping people regain balance and clearer direction in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and for breaking unhelpful patterns tied to substance use or anger.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotional patterns that shape relationships and close connections. It can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and attachment difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as needs change. This keeps sessions relevant and focused on what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels most helpful. Phone sessions and live chat are useful when internet bandwidth or shorter check-ins are needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief contact between scheduled sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life.
