Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting stress, ADHD, and caregiver fatigue. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques to match each person's situation, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with acceptance-oriented and emotion-focused methods.

She also integrates attachment-based and client-centered perspectives to address patterns rooted in early relationships and to help clients build clearer communication and healthier boundaries. This mix supports both short-term symptom relief and deeper exploration of long-standing patterns.

Mi Jung provides care in Korean in addition to English and is available to international clients. She offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy



Mi Jung commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult feelings, supporting coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.

She views choosing an approach as a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription. The therapist and client will work together to identify goals, try techniques that match the client’s needs, and adjust methods over time to find what feels most effective and sustainable.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide schedule flexibility and easier access across locations. These options allow clients to engage in skills practice, structured interventions, and reflective conversations from settings that fit their daily life while coordinating sessions around personal and work obligations.
