About John
John Asuncion is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. He brings a calm, collaborative style to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can use right away. John holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and practices from New York.
John draws on Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation. That means he listens first and shapes the work around each person’s needs. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to notice patterns of thinking and try small, testable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to mix listening, skill practice, and problem-solving. Over 15 years of work in clinical counseling have shaped his approach. He has supported people dealing with trauma, substance use concerns, mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and the stresses of parenting.
His background includes inpatient and outpatient settings where he learned to adapt methods to different situations. In sessions he aims to create a thoughtful, non-judgmental space. He helps clients identify strengths and build practical strategies for coping.
That may include ways to manage anger, improve sleep and eating patterns, or handle career and life transitions. John tends to work collaboratively and creatively. He helps people explore thoughts and feelings, set small goals, and practice new habits between meetings.
The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building the work around each person's needs. Online sessions keep that focus by prioritizing the client's concerns, emotional experience, and goals while the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online formats let the therapist guide skills practice, thought records, and small experiments people can do between sessions to see what helps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and reflective work, then adding CBT tools as needed, and adjusting over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or skill coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family schedules and daily demands.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
