About Mi
Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with ten years of practice. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship strain, anger, and challenges related to ADHD.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She listens first to what feels most urgent, then helps set clear, manageable goals. Parents worried about sleep, behavior, or parenting strain will find brief, concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Mi Jung uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person's experience in the room.
When attachment or past loss shows up, she brings attachment-informed ideas to understand relationship patterns and build healthier connections. Sessions often include practical exercises, coping plans, and small homework tasks to build momentum between visits. Sessions can be conducted in English or Korean and are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People who prefer an ongoing structure can use a subscription format that is canceled at any time. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and then a session is scheduled according to the listed availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new routines, useful for depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can be used during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. Clients are invited to share preferences so sessions match their needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum over time.
