About Julissa
Julissa Aquan is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She has 11 years of experience helping people manage relationship problems, grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Julissa aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding practical ways to move forward. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotions, then works with clients to build clearer choices and healthier routines.
Background and approach
Julissa draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies like cognitive behavioral work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That mix helps people connect to personal meaning while learning skills for mood and stress. Attachment-based thinking also guides conversations about how early connections affect current relationships.
She uses a culturally aware, whole-person view that links identity and life experience to emotional health. Therapy may involve examining recurring themes, practicing coping skills, and trying new ways of relating to others. Julissa also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep or eating concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career questions.
Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform. Julissa focuses on helping people feel seen, build resilience, and find clearer next steps.

Online support
How therapy approaches fit online care
Julissa combines Jungian Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people connect with inner meaning while taking practical action. Jungian Therapy looks at recurring images and life themes to help people make sense of internal conflicts and personal narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to value-based actions that move life forward.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and ways of relating. These approaches are explored collaboratively - the therapist and client decide together which ideas and exercises feel most useful for the client’s goals and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work through these methods. Video calls allow for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or a quieter space is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing homework between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using insight work and practical skill-building together.
