Remote care using evidence-informed approaches
Mi Jung You offers online sessions that use structured techniques alongside relational exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented in clear, practical steps that help identify unhelpful thinking and develop alternative behaviors and coping strategies. This approach lends itself to goal-oriented work and practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools can be introduced and practiced in virtual sessions to support day to day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy provides space to examine early relational patterns and how they show up in current relationships, creating opportunities for new ways of relating.
Online care is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can support skills practice, real-time problem solving, and ongoing reflection, making them adaptable for different preferences and schedules.
