About Mi

Mi Jung You is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a decade of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on an integrative skill set to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and ADHD, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also attends to areas like sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered stance to create collaborative therapy tailored to each person. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help develop practical coping skills, and incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed work to explore values and relational patterns.

Fluent in Korean, she accepts international clients and offers multiple remote formats to increase accessibility. Prospective clients are asked to begin by selecting Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability, with sessions delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and committing to meaningful action; it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early connection experiences to improve current relationships and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, personal preferences, and how different methods may fit their needs, adjusting techniques over time to find the best match.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules or geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver therapeutic techniques, homework, and check-ins in formats that suit varied lifestyles and communication preferences.
