About Jusup

Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. He speaks English and Indonesian and brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions. Mens wellbeing is among the areas highlighted in his practice.

He aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions tend to focus on understanding current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying practical steps that fit everyday life. Jusup uses straightforward language and listens for what each person needs.

His work draws on client-centered methods that follow the persons lead, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift thinking patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship feelings and connection are central. Mindfulness tools and existential conversations are also part of his approach for people wrestling with meaning and life changes.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns such as trauma, grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career stress, and family of origin problems. He also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, codependency, body image, and caregiving stress.

The practical aim is to help clients build clearer ways of coping and steadier day-to-day routines. Jusup works collaboratively to set goals, try new skills between sessions, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. To start, he asks a few questions to match needs with scheduling and then arranges the first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about and on building trust before suggesting changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces clear exercises you can try between sessions to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions in relationships so they can respond differently and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together the client and therapist adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different types of check-ins when life gets hectic. Many people find the combination of talking through issues and practicing CBT or mindfulness exercises between meetings translates well to remote therapy with licensed professionals.
