About Jusup
Jusup Sianturi is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who uses a practical, person-focused approach. He centers sessions on what matters most to each person and helps them find small, realistic steps forward. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.
Jusup brings seven years of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting strain, and career-related stress. His practice includes work around attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and substance use challenges.
His methods draw from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix helps him tailor sessions to each person's goals, whether that means changing unhelpful thinking, exploring emotional patterns in close relationships, or finding motivation to make different choices.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where practical strategies are paired with deeper reflection. Jusup focuses on building everyday skills - coping techniques, clearer communication, and pacing change so progress feels doable. He also pays attention to how past relationships shape current behavior and choices.
Sessions are delivered in English and Indonesian, and he is open to working with people internationally. To begin, prospective clients use the platform's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on the therapist's availability.

How his approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation, which can be helpful for addictions, habit change, or when someone feels stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and following the person's lead so they feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring identity, self-esteem, and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then shape sessions around what helps most. That collaborative approach means techniques may shift over time as priorities change and progress is noticed.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, meeting remotely helps maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively in virtual sessions while focusing on what each person needs day to day. -
