Background and approach
Her practice draws on a few complementary approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.
Mindfulness exercises help ground people when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming. Yaeeun brings three years of clinical experience and holds a Master’s degree in Psychological Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University. Her license is LMHC in New York.
She has worked with people coping with PTSD, psychosis, mood disorders, anger, and addictions. People can expect calm, practical sessions that mix skill teaching with thoughtful listening. She supports those facing immigration concerns, multicultural stress, and issues like abandonment or attachment.
Work is paced to the client’s needs and personal goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to the right session format and time.
Approaches for online stress and anxiety care
Yaeeun commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful alternatives; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and conflict.She also brings a client-centered stance to remote work, which means decisions about approach are made together. The therapist asks about your goals, tries different strategies, and adjusts as needed so the method fits your needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps find the right blend of teaching, skill practice, and listening.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat and text messages work well for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy days.
