About John
John Asuncion is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family matters, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
He works collaboratively and prefers a practical, problem-focused approach. Sessions often include talking through current difficulties and identifying small, concrete changes clients can try between meetings. He uses Client-Centered Therapy as a base and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques as needed.
His background includes clinical work across inpatient and outpatient settings. That experience involved treating trauma, depression, anxiety, identity and self-esteem concerns, substance use, crisis management, and interpersonal conflict. He has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in those settings.
In session he aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and build clearer, more effective ways of coping. He supports clients in developing practical strategies to reduce distress, improve routines like sleep and eating, and manage cravings or urges when addictions are involved.
He also spends time helping people understand their patterns and strengths. Together they set goals, try different approaches, and track what works. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify goals and choices. It is helpful for people who want straightforward support to sort feelings, self-esteem, and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and behaviors, testing them, and trying concrete alternative responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating troubles, and managing addictive urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That planning can include short-term skills practice or ongoing problem-focused work depending on what the client needs.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let a client try focused CBT exercises between sessions and bring real-life situations directly into the conversation for immediate problem-solving.
