About Sung
Sung Jae Shin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with five years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Korean and aim to address everyday problems like motivation, confidence, and panic symptoms.
Sung Jae uses straightforward talking and practical exercises rather than jargon. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support people who want to make changes but find it hard to start.
In sessions he focuses on concrete steps clients can take between meetings. That can include short behavioral experiments, practicing new communication skills, or tracking mood and triggers. He invites clients to set goals and tests what works in real life rather than relying only on talk.
His background includes five years of work in mental health settings. That experience informs a practical, results-focused way of working that emphasizes skills people can use at home, at work, and in relationships. He speaks Korean for clients who prefer that language.

BHow sessions work
How Sung Jae Shin applies therapeutic methods online
Sung Jae regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on practical tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and exposure tasks that can be practiced between meetings.He also relies on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT encourages people to clarify personal values and take committed action toward those values even when emotions are difficult.
Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel uncertain about change by exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation. That approach pairs well with CBT and ACT when someone wants help starting new habits or making life changes.
Finding the right fit is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints and then recommend techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming one method will work for every concern.
