About Sung

Sung Jae Shin welcomes people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. He helps with relationship strain, mood concerns, panic, and the day-to-day doubts that make life feel harder. He works in English and Korean and practices from a New York base as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker).

He keeps sessions simple and direct. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what feels important to you.

Background and approach

He uses practical tools to manage panic, reduce worry, and build confidence step by step. Sessions aim to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming. In therapy he creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful feelings.

He encourages small experiments between sessions to test out new ways of coping. He also helps people sort through guilt, shame, and isolation so they can reconnect with values and purpose. He draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape the work.

Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to find clearer reasons to change and sustain progress. These methods are adapted to each person's pace and goals. People who choose him often want straightforward support, clear strategies, and a partner who listens.

He supports practical steps toward better mood, improved communication, and a stronger sense of self-worth.

Online support

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing help online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate your actions. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In short, it teaches practical tools to reduce worry, challenge unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is often useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find personal reasons to change. It is helpful when motivation feels mixed or when someone wants clearer goals and a plan to follow through.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting pace and techniques as you go. This is a collaborative process where your feedback helps shape each session.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when that helps, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be easier for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain momentum between meetings.
