About Mi
Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship struggles. Her tone is direct and supportive for people who want clear steps forward.
She helps people manage life transitions, burnout, and stress that come from parenting, caregiving, work, or chronic illness. She also works with issues tied to trauma, attachment wounds, and patterns that repeat in relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify problem cycles and try small, workable changes. Her approach blends talk-based work with skills practice. She uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thinking patterns.
She also draws on dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship dynamics. Mi Jung uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s goals. She listens for what matters most and then helps set achievable steps.
Many people come away with clearer choices and tools they can use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Korean and can address concerns like grief, addictions, body image, ADHD, intimacy worries, sleep problems, and career stress. She accepts international clients and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed find simple steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people shift those patterns to build more supported interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. Together they test approaches and adjust practices based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people connect between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while working with licensed professionals who focus on practical skills and relationship patterns.
