About Mee-Hyea
Mee-Hyea Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 10 years of clinical experience. She holds a master's degree in Psychoanalytic Counseling from Centenary College and has worked across community mental health settings. Mee-Hyea works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, trauma, substance concerns, and related challenges.
Her background includes Modern Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She has also worked in agencies across Bergen and Morris Counties, and in settings such as in-home therapy, residential treatment centers, group homes, partial care programs, and psychiatric hospitals. That breadth of settings shaped a practical, hands-on approach to crisis situations and assessment.
Mee-Hyea describes her style as down-to-earth and non-judgmental. She listens to a person’s story, then helps them notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions include learning straightforward coping skills and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and manage stress.
She often helps people work through past trauma and relationship patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or depression. Conversation is coupled with skills practice so people can try new responses between sessions. Her work also covers issues related to substance use, mood disorders such as bipolar, and life transitions.
Sessions are offered by phone and telehealth. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when booking. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used to set up the first appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Mee-Hyea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions even when feelings are strong. ACT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and persistent stress that interferes with daily life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT offers clear skills for managing mood, panic, and patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses that began in close relationships.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Mee-Hyea will talk with a client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. If one approach is not helping, she discusses adjustments and alternatives together.
Her profile notes phone and telehealth options. Confirm the exact session formats and scheduling details when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so weeks stay manageable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so people practice skills between sessions.
