About John

John Asuncion is a licensed clinician based in New York who welcomes people seeking help for a range of concerns including ADHD along with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

He frames the work around a collaborative relationship that emphasizes clients' strengths and practical strategies for managing life challenges. With 15 years of clinical experience, he has supported people through substance use, mood disorders such as bipolar, self-esteem and identity concerns, parenting and career stressors, and other difficult transitions.

His practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy as the primary orientation, while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills. He aims to create a nonjudgmental, empathic environment where clients can increase self-awareness, develop effective strategies, and move toward personal growth.

John holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and offers a therapeutic process guided by collaboration, skill-building, and attention to each person's goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them

John uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative relationship that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own strengths; this approach helps people feel understood and supports self-directed growth. He also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and John works together with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration may lead to focusing more on skills-based CBT work, deepening insight through client-centered conversations, or blending elements from both to address specific concerns.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide practical flexibility for scheduling and for maintaining continuity of care during busy times. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, family, and daily life while allowing therapists and clients to concentrate on treatment goals and skill development from wherever the client is located in New York.
