About Mi

Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles such as depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. She also pays attention to sleeping concerns and parenting stress when they affect daily life.

Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions include talking through problems and learning tools to manage intense feelings or upsetting thoughts. She uses techniques aimed at improving coping and day-to-day functioning.

Mi Jung combines several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing emotions and improving emotional regulation. Client-centered and attachment-focused ideas shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns.

She has spent a decade helping adults and children with wide-ranging concerns, including addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, chronic illness challenges, and family of origin problems. Her approach adapts to each person's worries and pace, with attention to practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Sessions can include Korean when helpful, and she works with international clients as well. People who want to start are invited to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, which often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust them over time based on what works for the client.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when schedules change. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier to schedule, reduce travel time, and let people use written exercises or worksheets between meetings. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available session types before booking to know what will work best for your routine.
