Jusup Sianturi, LMHC

Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. He helps clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress by listening closely and working with them to find clearer ways of thinking and coping. Sessions are offered in English and Indonesian to suit different needs.

Jusup emphasizes a straightforward, person-focused approach. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through relationship troubles, workplace strain, grief, or struggles with self-esteem and identity. Conversations often center on practical shifts in daily thinking and habits that reduce distress.

He draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and Client-Centered techniques to keep the client’s perspective central. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship or attachment issues are the focus, and mindfulness practices help with stress and grounding.

With seven years of experience as an LMHC in New York, Jusup supports people working through addiction, boundaries and codependency, caregiver stress, and complex family-of-origin problems. He also addresses intimacy issues, commitment worries, and the emotional impact of divorce or separation.

Jusup accepts international clients and mixes practical skill-building with compassionate listening. He encourages clients to try small changes in everyday routines and thoughts, then revisit what does and doesn’t help. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, giving people space to speak and be heard while the therapist follows their lead to build understanding and trust. This approach helps when someone needs to feel seen and develop personal insight.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping skills.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns, which can be useful for addressing relationship distress and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients often try an approach and then refine it based on what works for them.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and access from different locations since he accepts international clients. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make shorter check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or skills practice easier to maintain in everyday life.
