About Yaeeun
Yaeeun Ji is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with mood and relationships. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps. Sessions are offered in English and Korean to support bicultural concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Yaeeun emphasizes the client as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
That can mean learning tools for anger or addiction, or finding ways to cope with big life changes. Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also integrates client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people set and reach realistic goals.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming. Yaeeun trained in psychological mental health counseling and has worked with mood disorders and trauma in clinical settings. She brings three years of counseling experience to each session and adapts methods to fit cultural background and individual needs.
People often come for help with grief, trauma and abuse, obsessive thoughts, or struggles tied to immigration and multicultural identity. Yaeeun aims for clear, manageable plans so people can try new coping strategies between sessions and notice gradual change.
How Yaeeun’s Methods Work Remotely
Yaeeun often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. She pairs that with mindfulness techniques that train attention and calmness, which can reduce rumination and improve everyday functioning.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and building on a person’s strengths, and motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. Finding the right mix is part of the work together; the therapist will review goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels useful and doable for the client.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing skills, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular sessions and to practice tools between appointments.
