About Justine
Justine Tetteh is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with four years of professional experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and challenges tied to career and life transitions. Justine also addresses compassion fatigue and helps people regain energy and balance.
She works from the belief that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions aim to identify those strengths and apply them to real problems.
How Justine works
Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Justine helps with caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports people facing mood or personality concerns, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and the fallout from traumatic brain injury.
Her experience includes addressing prejudice and discrimination and questions about life purpose and midlife change. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps set small achievable goals. She treats impulsivity and forgiveness work as skills to practice rather than abstract ideas.
The goal is clearer thinking, improved coping, and more manageable day-to-day choices. People meet with her to talk through immediate stressors and to build longer-term tools. She offers straightforward guidance and steady support while clients try new behaviors and adjust plans as needed.

Evidence-based techniques and online care
Justine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach emphasizes identifying strengths and setting small, measurable goals to reduce stress and build confidence. This method helps people break down big problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.Another approach centers on skills for managing anxiety and mood, such as breathing and grounding strategies, routines to combat seasonal mood shifts, and communication skills for difficult conversations. These techniques aim to provide tools people can use between sessions to feel steadier in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The process is guided by the client's experience and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. This range makes it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives.
