Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in Missouri with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & coping with life changes.
I draw on somatic approached, incorporating mindfulness/bodyfulness and self-compassion, to help you explore gaining a deeper understanding of your mind and body as a whole. Together, we will discover practices that enhance your mind-body connection, empower you to respond intentionally rather than react instinctively or automatically, and identify what truly supports your well-being.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Better Help를 통해 만나게 되어 반갑습니다!
저는 12년간 임상사회복지사로 종합 병원에 근무하면서 다양한 클라이언트들을 만나고 있습니다.
상담을 하면 할수록 언어와 문화가 얼마나 중요한지 느끼게 되는데요, 그럴수록 해외에 거주하고 있는 한국인들(유학생/이민자)에게 언어적으로 문화적으로 적합한 상담 서비스가 부족하다는 것을 실감하고 있습니다. 이러한 필요를 바탕으로 해외에 거주하고 있는 한국인들의 문화와 정서를 고려한 상담을 Better Help라는 새로운 플랫폼을 통해 제공하고자 합니다.
저는 기독교적 세계관을 바탕으로 자녀 양육, 부모관계, 부부관계, 자아존중 및 자신감, 재정관리 등 삶의 단계에서의 여러가지 변화에 따른 스트레스와 건강한 대처 방안을 배우실 수 있도록 도와 드리겠습니다. 행복한 삶을 위한 변화를 추구하기 위해서 첫 걸음을 내딛는 것에는 용기가 필요합니다. 저는 그 여정에 함께 동참하여 응원하고 격려해 줄 좋은 길잡이가 되어 드리고 싶습니다.

Sunmee Joo is a Missouri-licensed clinical social worker (MO LCSW 2015000290) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with individuals and families on issues such as family conflict, parenting challenges, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She is a female therapist who integrates a Christian perspective into her clinical work.
Her practice draws on somatic-informed methods, combining mindfulness and bodyfulness with self-compassion to support clients in developing a fuller understanding of mind and body as an integrated whole. In sessions she guides clients to discover practices that strengthen the mind-body connection, foster intentional responses instead of automatic reactions, and clarify what genuinely supports their well-being.
Sunmee has clinical experience in a general hospital setting, where she worked as a clinical social worker and supported a diverse range of clients. Recognizing the importance of language and cultural fit in counseling, she also offers services tailored to Korean individuals living abroad, including students and immigrants, through the Better Help platform. She assists clients across life stages in areas such as childrearing, parent-child relationships, couple dynamics, self-worth and confidence, and practical topics like financial management.
She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and affirms clients for taking that first step, offering encouragement and support throughout their journey.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, evidence shows that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person work.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients may connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best – video appointments, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many individuals, online therapy provides an accessible and practical path to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
