About Sergiy
OR Psychologist Sergiy Barsukov has 16 years of professional experience and is based in Oregon. He helps people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. He conducts sessions in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
Barsukov focuses on practical, conversational work. He listens to what a person is facing and clarifies immediate goals. He uses clear methods to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning rather than medical jargon. Sessions are presented as straightforward conversations about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
His approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person’s perspective central. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of his toolkit when someone needs to clarify motivation for change. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term, achievable steps.
Over his career he has supported people through bereavement and trauma, and helped those coping with midlife changes, guilt, shame, mood challenges, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. He aims to make steps feel manageable and concrete, not overwhelming. He pays attention to practical barriers and what someone can try between sessions.
Sessions are available in three languages and he accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what he hears, helping people make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most. This approach helps with grief, trauma, and times when a person needs to be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The therapist helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review the person’s goals, preferences, and current problems and then recommend a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists in general use online sessions to keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while adapting techniques like CBT and client-centered listening to a remote setting.
