About Jusup
Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor who blends practical therapy methods with a calm, person-first style. He uses clear, straightforward approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Jusup speaks English and Indonesian and practices from New York as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
He aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can talk and try different ways to feel better. He draws on several proven methods that focus on what helps in daily life.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns that affect relationships. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client's needs and goals.
Jusup has seven years of clinical experience working with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, family concerns, intimacy-related problems, and parenting stresses. He also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems, and challenges around substance use. In sessions he prioritizes practical steps alongside emotional understanding.
Sessions may use a mix of short-term tools and longer conversations depending on the problem. He supports people facing life changes, career stress, caregiver strain, and feelings of emptiness by helping them build new ways to cope. Jusup prefers a collaborative pace where clients set goals and try strategies that fit their daily routines.
People who reach out can expect clear explanations of methods, focused goals for treatment, and work tailored to real-life challenges. He helps people identify small changes that add up to more stable routines and better relationships.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps when someone needs a steady space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks larger problems into steps and gives practical tools to try between sessions, which works well across video, phone, or text formats.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect close relationships. It is useful for improving how people connect and communicate, and can be adapted for online sessions where emotion and structure are prioritized.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they check progress and adjust the plan when needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short, on-the-go check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep continuity when life gets in the way of in-person visits.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
