About Yaeeun Ji

With a master’s degree in Psychological Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University and three years of clinical experience, she has worked with individuals facing PTSD, psychosis, severe mood disturbances, anger management issues, and substance use concerns. Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and builds on each person’s strengths to address present difficulties and promote meaningful change.

Ji offers therapy in both English and Korean and pays particular attention to the needs of Korean immigrants and second-generation Korean individuals, shaping treatment to fit cultural values and emotional styles.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Ji aims to walk alongside clients in that process, offering collaborative, empathetic care tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s unique experience. The therapist creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space and helps clients identify strengths and goals to guide healing and decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood instability, and managing cravings or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines validation with skills training in areas like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ji works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time, drawing from different approaches to best support each person’s progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations, while still receiving structured, evidence-informed care from a therapist who understands the client’s background and goals.
