About Yaeeun

Yaeeun Ji is a New York licensed mental health counselor who combines clinical training with cultural understanding to support clients facing a wide range of challenges. Holding a Master of Science in Psychological Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University and the LMHC credential - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she has three years of professional experience treating PTSD, psychosis, severe mood disorders, addictions, anger, and other stress-related concerns. Yaeeun emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered stance, viewing each person as the expert of their own story and helping them draw on existing resources to navigate difficult transitions and emotional pain.

She offers therapy in both English and Korean and tailors care to the cultural and emotional needs of first- and second-generation Korean immigrants, as well as to clients from diverse backgrounds. Her work includes support for relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, along with focused help for substance-related problems and mood or personality concerns. Yaeeun aims to create a supportive, respectful space where clients can take courageous first steps toward greater well-being while exploring practical strategies and deeper healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Yaeeun Ji draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and respect so clients can explore their feelings and strengths in their own pace - it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and adapting to life changes. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, anger, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yaeeun collaborates with clients to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences, and progress, working together to find what feels most effective. She draws on licensed professionals' evidence-informed techniques while adapting them to each person's cultural and personal context.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session styles, and integrate therapy into daily life without sacrificing therapeutic depth or responsiveness.
