About John

John Asuncion greets people with a straightforward, collaborative style. He focuses on helping clients who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, or changes at work and home. He is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who practices in New York and offers sessions in English.

John blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

Background and approach

He keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and build on strengths. Conversations are calm and direct, aimed at finding steps that fit daily life. Over 15 years in the field have given him experience with trauma, depression, anxiety, identity concerns, substance use, and relationship and parenting stress.

That work has included both inpatient and outpatient settings, which informs how he matches tools to what someone is facing. He uses that background to guide pacing and priorities during therapy. In session he creates a nonjudgmental space where clients and he work together to identify problems and practical next steps.

He helps people develop coping strategies, improve self-worth, and move toward clearer goals. Sessions focus on what will help most right now while building skills for the future. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find his approach helpful.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

John uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist listens closely to what matters most. This approach helps people who need acceptance, exploration of identity, or a calm place to talk through grief and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and focuses on concrete skills like testing assumptions and practicing new reactions to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. He collaborates with each person to decide whether a more exploratory Client-Centered stance, practical CBT techniques, or a mix of both will best meet their goals. The plan is adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy lets people access care in ways that fit their life. Video calls are useful for full face-to-face sessions, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions, and all formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving. He and other licensed professionals can use these options to help clients stay consistent and flexible with treatment.
