About Mi
Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, straightforward presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She speaks Korean in addition to English and works with international clients when needed.
Her practice centers on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career concerns.
How Mi works
Mi Jung helps people navigate life changes, cope with trauma and abuse, and manage symptoms linked to bipolar conditions and ADHD. Mi Jung draws from several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
She incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action even when feelings are hard to face. She places strong emphasis on attachment and relationships when past hurts affect present bonds. Dialectical behavior techniques are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when intense feelings get in the way of daily life.
Client-centered methods set a respectful tone that keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client. Sessions may include short-term skill work or longer-term reflection depending on the goal. Mi Jung frames therapy as a collaboration - she helps people name what matters, try new strategies, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what they value. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, practical exercises and homework; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and addictions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. This means sessions can mix strategies so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through emotions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or daily support between longer conversations.
