About Mi
Mi Jung You is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NY LMHC, with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and practical parenting strains. She also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, grief, addiction-related challenges, sleeping problems, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and skills-oriented. Sessions emphasize clear goals and relatable tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance strategies. She draws on attachment-informed thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
People meet a clinician who favors a conversational, client-centered pace. Conversations typically identify a few manageable steps each week. Homework or short practice tasks are offered when they help move things forward between sessions. Progress is measured by what the person notices changing in daily life.
She is experienced working with issues that come up around family dynamics and parenting. That includes family of origin themes, communication problems, abandonment or attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship strain linked to separation or divorce.
Sessions can be conducted in Korean when wanted. She accepts international clients and practices from New York as an NY LMHC. To begin, visitors complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and continue to act toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present-day responses and communication, which can help when family history or caregiver stress shapes current relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change and as practical skills are tried and reviewed together.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people juggling parenting or work. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversation, skill practice, and brief between-session tasks that translate well to remote appointments.
