About Mi
Mi Jung You is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. Many people seek her out for parenting concerns, relationship strain, sleep problems, and challenges with self-esteem or addiction.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions often include clear tools to manage strong emotions, breathing and grounding techniques, and steps to change unhelpful behavior.
Background and approach
She blends short-term skills with time to talk about roots of painful patterns so clients can make steady progress. Mi Jung draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to notice and shift thoughts that drive distress. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values, even when feelings are hard.
Attachment-based work helps address patterns rooted in early relationships that keep repeating now. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions can also address family-of-origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and intimacy-related worries.
Sessions are offered in English and Korean. Mi Jung provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging so clients can choose what fits their day. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to set up the first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life concerns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on taking steps that match personal values, which can help with parenting stress, anxiety, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes simple home practices and clear strategies for sleep, mood, and daily routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This can help people who notice repeated communication problems, trust struggles, or intimacy-related worries.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring to decide which methods to try first. Plans can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy days and varied needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and behavioral coaching. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging lets people stay connected between sessions or use therapy in shorter moments during the week.
