She holds a master’s degree in Psychoanalytic Counseling from Centenary College and works from a direct, down-to-earth stance. Mee-Hyea listens first and then helps people find practical ways to manage hard moments.

In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental and practical. She teaches mindfulness and coping skills, and she supports clients in spotting and changing patterns that fuel anxiety, panic, and stress. Conversations are collaborative and focused on small, achievable steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills work, helping with panic, stress, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT and CBT tools, or bringing in attachment-focused ideas when relationship patterns are central.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can save travel time and make it simpler to check in during a lunch break or after work. The biography notes availability by phone and telehealth, but confirm which formats are offered when you book. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and cognitive work to the online setting so clients can progress even when meeting remotely.
