Mi Jung You, LMHC

Mi Jung You is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by mood, stress, or relationship strain. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger issues, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions. Sessions are offered with attention to practical day-to-day coping as well as longer-term patterns.

She approaches difficulties by listening first and helping people name what’s happening. Mi Jung uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based ideas. That means sessions often include noticing thoughts and behaviors, building useful skills, and exploring how past relationships affect current reactions.

In a typical meeting she might help a person recognize triggers for anger, practice short skills to reduce reactivity, and test different responses outside sessions. She also helps people work through grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and career or parenting pressure. Work can be practical and skills-focused or more reflective and relational depending on the need.

Mi Jung speaks Korean in addition to English, and she accepts international clients. Her practice notes that session cost varies by location and that care uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

Her background combines ten years of clinical experience with a steady focus on helping people change patterns that cause repeated frustration or short fuse reactions. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to find clearer ways to respond to anger, anxiety, and life stressors.
