    About Sergiy

    Sergiy Barsukov is an Oregon psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life transitions. He has 16 years of experience supporting people through mood struggles, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and challenges tied to midlife or men’s issues. He works in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.

    He aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Sessions focus on listening without judgment and building clear, practical goals. Conversations are straightforward and paced to fit each person’s needs rather than a rigid checklist.

    In sessions Sergiy combines problem-focused strategies with collaborative conversation. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. He also brings Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered techniques to help people find their own motivation and feel heard.

    Over 16 years Sergiy has guided people through grief and recovery after trauma, and through shifts in mood or life direction. He emphasizes small, concrete steps that add up over time. Progress is measured by what matters to the person seeking help.

    He offers services from Oregon and works with people who speak English, Russian, or Ukrainian. If you want to explore whether his approach fits, start with the short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to talk.

  2. Approaches That Guide Online Work

    Many sessions draw on Motivational Interviewing, which centers on helping people find their own reasons to change and build motivation at their own pace. This approach can help with ambivalence around behavior change, recovery, and sticking with goals.

    Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his way of working. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and making space for the person’s perspective so they feel understood and able to make choices.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and to try out small behavior changes that can shift how someone feels.

    Choosing the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then test ideas and adjust as needed in a collaborative way.

    The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or making appointments possible across different time zones for international clients. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent contact and follow through on agreed steps without promising a specific format.
