About Anderson
Anderson Yoon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of professional experience based in New York. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns, and depression among the issues he helps people with. He also notes work related to social anxiety and phobia and mood-related difficulties.
He brings a mix of clinical work and academic experience to sessions. He holds a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree from Oxford, and he completed research training at Harvard Medical School. He also works full time as an assistant professor on the tenure track.
In practical terms he tends to treat difficulties that show up in daily life - panic attacks, persistent worry, problems at work, and the consequences of past trauma. He talks through what is happening now and how patterns developed over time. He helps people identify strengths they already have and uses those strengths to manage symptoms and make changes.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that can be practiced between meetings. He can talk about attachment, communication, guilt, shame, and feeling isolated without using technical jargon. He makes space for discussing impulses, anger, and the stress of career transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English and Korean. He is licensed as an LCSW in New York and New Jersey. Prospective clients who want to start are asked to complete the site questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How his approaches translate to online work
Anderson describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and mood problems. One approach focuses on identifying patterns that maintain worry or panic and then practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms. This helps people manage panic attacks and repeated anxious thoughts with step-by-step strategies.Another approach emphasizes exploring how past experiences shape current responses, particularly around attachment, shame, and relationships. That work often involves naming difficult memories, noticing their impact now, and developing alternative ways of responding in stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts tactics as progress is made. Clients and the therapist review what’s working and change course when needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time for appointments. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum while addressing social anxiety, workplace stress, and trauma-related concerns.
