About Yoonhee

Yoonhee Kang is an Oklahoma-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, grief, and family-of-origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and Korean, and she accepts international clients.

Yoonhee frames the client as the expert of their own story and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. She uses conversation to identify patterns that come from the family people grew up in, and looks at how those roles and expectations affect current relationships and choices. She listens for recurring problems around communication, control, and commitment, then helps clients try different ways of responding.

Her work draws from attachment-based perspectives and client-centered methods to build understanding of relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotion-focused approaches and EMDR can be used when memories or strong emotions are getting in the way of daily life.

In sessions she focuses on concrete tools and small experiments that fit into everyday routines. This can include short exercises to practice new communication habits, mood-management strategies, or steps to address addictive behavior patterns. She also addresses challenges like sleep, eating, and caregiver stress when those issues connect to the main concerns.

People considering work on family-of-origin patterns are encouraged to think about specific relationships or moments they want to change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the recommended online process.

How Yoonhee Applies Therapeutic Approaches Online

Yoonhee uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship roles and expectations still influence feelings and reactions today. This approach helps when patterns from family life affect adult relationships and emotional responses. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and habits that keep problems going.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up before deciding which methods to emphasize. Clients are invited to try techniques and then give feedback so the work can be adjusted together.
