About Mi
Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of clinical experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing life transitions, grief, addictive behaviors, and challenges with self-esteem.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps people identify what gets in the way and what small changes might help.
Background and approach
The tone is warm and direct rather than academic. Mi Jung uses a mix of approaches depending on the person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take action even when emotions are hard. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and family of origin issues. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions may include coaching-style exercises and skill practice between meetings. She offers care in English and Korean and accepts international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their schedule.
Mi Jung supports adults who want practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday functioning.

Approach-driven care over video and text
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are strong, which can be helpful for anger, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new responses, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now, helping with intimacy issues and family of origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you progress. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to emphasize and when to shift focus.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a busy life.
