About Mi
Mi Jung You is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma, and life stressors. Sessions are offered in English and Korean and she accepts international clients.
She focuses on practical concerns such as sleep problems, anger, parenting strain, addiction, and codependency patterns. Mi Jung explains what feels out of balance and helps people notice the behaviors that keep them stuck. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building clearer choices in everyday life.
Her background includes a mix of CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills alongside client-centered and attachment-based approaches. That combination lets her address thoughts and behaviors, and also look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She uses interventions that teach skills and encourage reflection rather than long lectures.
Mi Jung often meets people who feel overwhelmed by caregiving roles, chronic stress, or repeating relationship dynamics. She helps people name those patterns and practice small changes that can reduce reactive habits. Work may include coping strategies for anxiety, planning for mood shifts, and exercises to strengthen boundaries.
Her style balances practical skill building with attention to relationship history. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, doable homework, and checking what works. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Mi Jung’s practice serves adults dealing with life transitions, grief, and relational wounds. She combines talk, behavioral tools, and skills training to help people get unstuck and make steadier choices in their daily lives.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that matter to the client and can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, sleep issues, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can be useful when someone keeps losing themselves in relationships or struggles with trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mi Jung will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what the client reports and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Clients can practice skills in their real environments and then bring those experiences back to sessions for problem solving and reinforcement.
