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, depression, bipolar mood changes, addiction concerns, anger, grief, trauma and family issues. Sessions are offered in English and Korean. She accepts international clients.
Yaeeun uses straightforward, conversational work. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical steps for coping. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice skills that reduce overwhelm.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Psychological Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University. That training underpins work with mood disorders and trauma. She also has experience helping people address addictions and anger, and supporting those navigating major life changes.
Therapy draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test realistic alternatives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills are introduced for emotion regulation and staying present.
Yaeeun often supports people who are coping with cultural issues related to immigration and the Korean-American experience. She pays attention to shame, guilt, attachment concerns, and isolation that can come from those backgrounds. Her approach is practical and paced to each person’s needs.
For someone juggling parenting or household strain, she offers focused sessions that aim to reduce daily stress and improve relationships. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching steps and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Yaeeun uses evidence-based approaches online
Yaeeun blends client-centered work with structured skills to address immediate concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person’s viewpoint, and helping them shape the goals they want to work toward. It is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful place to talk through relationship or family stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change behavior and mood. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday parenting stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds specific emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These techniques help when anger, mood swings, or strong reactions to family conflict make daily life harder.
Deciding on an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on goals and everyday pressures. Together they will try strategies and adjust what isn’t helping so sessions stay practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household by avoiding travel and letting people schedule sessions during breaks or when childcare is arranged. Phone sessions may be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. These practical choices can help therapy be a manageable part of daily life without changing the therapeutic methods used.
