About Justine

Justine Tetteh is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with four years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also brings experience supporting people facing compassion fatigue. Justine approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they can use. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, manageable steps toward change. People often come for help with motivation, confidence, and navigating transitions. She also works with concerns tied to mood changes, burnout, chronic illness, and isolation. Justine pays attention to how life demands and caregiving roles affect emotional wellbeing. Her style is warm and straightforward. She helps clients name what matters most and then tries out ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Progress is tracked in bite-sized goals rather than big, abstract promises. Justine supports people who need help sorting priorities and finding balance while handling responsibilities. She encourages practical strategies for communication, forgiveness, and rebuilding routine. Choosing to start therapy is a step she treats with respect and steady guidance.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Justine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying current problems, setting clear goals, and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. This helps people who want concrete steps to feel less overwhelmed.

Another direction adapts to work with low motivation and self-esteem by building on the client’s existing strengths. Sessions look at daily routines, communication patterns, and ways to increase small successes that boost confidence over time.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as needed in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday break or avoiding travel time. It can also help people access consistent support while managing caregiving duties or health-related limits.
