About Mi
Mi Jung You is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of experience working with adults. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma, life stressors and transitions, and family conflict.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and on skills to manage strong feelings. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters and take actions that fit their values.
Attachment-based work appears when relationships are central to the problem. That means looking at how early bonds show up in current connections and communication. Client-centered techniques shape the pace of sessions so the person can lead what matters most in each meeting.
Mi Jung often blends strategies when a single method isn’t enough. For example, she may combine CBT skill practice with DBT-style emotion regulation for intense states, or use attachment-focused conversation to address recurring relationship patterns.
Sessions can include coaching elements for career or life-change planning. She also supports people dealing with grief, chronic stress, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. Conversations may be in English or Korean, and international clients are accepted.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and aligning choices with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to challenge thinking patterns and change behaviors that maintain worry and low mood. It suits stress, social anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy and repeated relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to try methods and see what fits their goals and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting techniques over a few sessions rather than committing to one fixed method immediately.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. For people who prefer a quieter interaction without video, alternatives may be possible depending on the therapist's current offerings. Ask about language options too, since sessions are available in Korean as well as English.
