Justine Tetteh , LMHC

Justine Tetteh is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She has four years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and career challenges. She also supports those coping with major life changes and compassion fatigue.

She centers sessions on the person's own strengths and experience. She views each client as the expert on their life and works to build on what is already going well. That approach helps clients feel more in control of change and decision-making.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. Conversations focus on skills you can use between sessions, and on clearer thinking about next steps. She aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Justine pays attention to how stress and burnout show up in daily life. She helps people notice patterns that undermine confidence or motivation. Together they identify small shifts that reduce strain and improve coping over time.

She also offers support for chronic health concerns, caregiver strain, and mood-related difficulties such as postpartum depression and seasonal mood changes. Communication problems, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose are common topics brought to sessions.

Most work is practical and collaborative. Clients who want help with impulse control, forgiveness, or adjusting after brain injury can explore those issues in a focused way. Sessions are aimed at steady forward movement, one step at a time.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Many clients benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and problem solving. One common approach focuses on skill building for stress and anxiety management, teaching simple breathing, grounding, and thought-reframing techniques that can be practiced between sessions. This helps when symptoms interfere with work, relationships, or daily routines.

Another useful approach targets self-esteem and motivation by identifying unhelpful patterns and setting small, achievable goals. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to build confidence and momentum over time. These methods are aimed at steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively to understand each person's needs, goals, and preferences, and then experiments with methods that feel like a good fit. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted together as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick reflections, ongoing support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit regular care into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
