About Yaeeun

Yaeeun Ji is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York who brings clinical training and cultural sensitivity to her work. She holds a Master of Science in Psychological Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential (LMHC). With experience treating PTSD, psychosis, and severe mood disorders, she also supports people coping with addictions, anger management, and major life transitions.

Yaeeun approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet current challenges. She creates a collaborative space where clients explore emotions, develop practical coping skills, and build toward a more fulfilling life.

Fluent in English and Korean, Yaeeun draws on an understanding of Korean cultural values to offer counseling that is sensitive to the experiences of first-generation immigrants and second-generation Korean children. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and addiction-related issues, tailoring interventions to each client’s needs and cultural context.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Yaeeun integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a respectful, strength-based space where clients lead the conversation and explore values, identity, and relationship concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders and to support coping with addictions and anger. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and mood instability.



Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Yaeeun works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and stage of change. She tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels relevant and manageable.



Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, including international clients. These options allow people to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
