About Jusup

Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. He works with individuals to untangle difficult feelings and build practical ways to cope. His style is direct but warm, aiming to make therapy feel manageable on a busy day.

Jusup uses a mix of approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match what each person needs. He helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior, practice new ways of relating, and strengthen emotional awareness. Sessions often focus on real-life problems like workplace stress, social anxiety, and communication breakdowns.

He also addresses challenges such as addiction, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and issues tied to family of origin. Jusup pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes that often show up across relationships. He works with people facing grief, intimacy questions, and the strain of big life transitions.

Over seven years of practice, Jusup has supported people in building resilience and clearer goals for personal growth. He speaks English and Indonesian and can work with international clients. People who value practical tools and honest conversations tend to find his approach helpful.

To begin, he encourages a straightforward conversation about what a person wants to change and small first steps toward those goals. Sessions are paced to fit each person’s needs and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It helps people feel heard, notice their own strengths, and choose the pace of change that feels right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps make sessions relevant and focused on what the client wants to change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let people keep regular momentum between in-person commitments and use practical tools learned in sessions in day-to-day life.
