About Mi

Mi Jung You is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of clinical experience in New York. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. She also helps with parenting stress, sleep problems, addiction concerns, and focus-related issues such as ADHD.

Mi Jung combines practical talking and skill-building in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to examine thinking patterns and DBT strategies for managing intense feelings. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early family experiences play a role.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Mi Jung listens for what matters most and then works with each person to set small, manageable goals. She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person’s own priorities and strengths.

Over time she helps people develop clearer boundaries, steadier moods, and better communication with others. Work may include learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful habits, and practicing ways to respond differently under stress. She also addresses specific themes such as abandonment, body image, grief, and codependency.

Mi Jung speaks Korean and sees international clients in addition to people in New York. Her credential is NY LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.

How her approaches guide online work

Mi Jung often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and career stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in early relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current connections and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in the context of everyday life and brings therapy into the routines where changes must be made.
