About Yaeeun
Yaeeun Ji is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and Korean and she accepts international clients.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to address emotional overwhelm and difficult behaviors. Yaeeun draws on client-centered methods to listen and build on a person's strengths. She combines this with cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thought and action patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices appear in her work when people need skills for managing intense feelings or improving attention. Motivational interviewing is used to help people who are ambivalent about change, especially around substance use. Therapy is presented as collaborative problem solving rather than a lecture.
Her training includes a Master’s degree in Psychological Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University and a New York LMHC credential. Prior work involved supporting people with PTSD, psychosis, and severe mood disorders, and she notes experience helping those coping with addictions, anger management, and life transitions.
Yaeeun notes particular familiarity with cultural issues faced by first- and second-generation Korean immigrants and offers counseling in ways that reflect Korean emotional styles. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, helping people build skills they can use between sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Yaeeun commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small, concrete changes. DBT offers skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger and mood instability.She also integrates client-centered principles, which means sessions start from the client's perspective and strengths. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will consider needs, goals, and preferences to decide which methods to try and when to adjust them.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. They can also make it simpler to work with a clinician who speaks your language or has relevant cultural experience. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to find an arrangement that fits your routine.
