About Mi
Mi Jung You is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier when life gets overwhelming. She speaks Korean and works with adults on a range of concerns.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and talks through depression and grief. She also supports clients facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and challenges with sleep or burnout.
Background and approach
Relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and parenting stresses are common topics in her sessions. Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools also appear when skills for managing emotions or building values-based action are useful. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflection, and concrete skills practice like coping strategies or communication techniques.
The aim is to make change feel doable between appointments. Mi Jung frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals and checks progress along the way.
If Korean is preferred, she can offer sessions in that language for greater comfort. Her practice addresses a broad set of life challenges including career transitions, caregiver stress, body image concerns, dissociation, and family of origin issues. People looking for steady, skill-oriented support often find this style useful.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and patterns. Online sessions can include conversations about attachment experiences and practice in building new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more helpful options; it often uses brief exercises and homework that work well between online appointments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean blending attachment-focused exploration with CBT skill practice or using ACT strategies for values-driven change. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, quick coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
