About Jusup
Jusup Sianturi is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who works from an evidence-informed, client-centered perspective that includes cognitive behavioral techniques. He combines practical, skills-based work with exploratory conversations to help people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Drawing on seven years of clinical experience, he supports clients in building clearer thinking patterns, improving emotional regulation, and developing concrete coping strategies for persistent stressors. His practice attends to a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, self-esteem and body image issues, addiction and substance concerns, and workplace or caregiver stress.
He also addresses attachment-related difficulties such as abandonment, avoidant patterns, codependency, and family of origin dynamics. Sessions are intended to help clients increase insight, restore balance during life changes, and strengthen communication and decision-making skills in relationships.
Jusup offers services in English and Indonesian and accepts international clients. He integrates mindfulness and emotion-focused elements when helpful, tailoring interventions to each person’s priorities and goals while maintaining an empathic, nonjudgmental stance throughout the therapeutic process.
Combining evidence-based approaches with online flexibility
Jusup uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a respectful space where clients' values and experiences guide the work. These methods are often blended with mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adapts interventions as needs evolve and invites clients to shape the pace and focus of sessions so the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access ongoing support without geographic constraints and allow clients to choose how they connect based on what helps them engage most fully in the work.
