Justine Tetteh

Justine Tetteh is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and career-related pressures. She also supports those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Taking a step toward therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make that first move feel safer and more manageable.

In sessions she centers the client's own knowledge of their life and strengths. She helps people notice what already works for them and build on those abilities. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to small changes that add up over time.

Her background includes working with a range of concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication challenges, and isolation or loneliness. She also has experience with mood and personality concerns, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination.

Justine aims to make therapy useful for everyday life. She supports people in clarifying priorities, managing hard emotions, and making concrete plans for change. Sessions are intended to fit real schedules and everyday demands.

She works in English and practices as an NY LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. If someone is considering starting therapy, she encourages a short conversation to see if the fit feels right before making a commitment.

Evidence-based techniques and how they translate online

Justine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill-building. One common approach involves learning coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as paced breathing, activity scheduling, and problem-solving steps that break big problems into manageable tasks. These skills help with day-to-day symptoms and decision making.

Another frequent focus is building self-esteem and motivation through structured goal work and behavior changes. This involves setting small, achievable goals, tracking progress, and adjusting plans when obstacles appear. That work aims to increase confidence by practicing new ways of acting and thinking.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, preferences, and life situation. That could mean trying different strategies and adjusting as goals become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer quicker check-ins when problems arise, and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter sessions for brief updates or phone conversations when video is not convenient.
