About Mi

Mi Jung You is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem problems, and life transitions. Sessions can address both persistent problems and shorter-term struggles brought on by changes in life circumstances.

Her work balances emotional focus with practical strategies. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help identify and name strong feelings and the interaction patterns that keep those feelings stuck. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods to keep the sessions person-focused.

Typical sessions involve talking through current problems, noticing emotional responses, and practicing new ways to respond. She may introduce exercises that help people become more aware of how their emotions affect behavior. Over time the work aims to bring more clarity around what a person is feeling and why.

Mi Jung also addresses parenting stress, caregiver strain, grief, addictions, sleeping difficulties, and challenges related to chronic illness or pain. She works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and eating or body-image concerns.

She offers services in English and Korean and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with intense feelings and the interaction patterns that often keep those feelings repeating. EFT is useful when someone wants to understand why certain emotional reactions keep happening and to change how they respond in relationships or stressful situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and for choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and coping through life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then use EFT, ACT, or client-centered techniques as fits the client. This is a collaborative process where adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets sessions continue for people who are located outside New York, including international clients.
