About Yoonhee

Yoonhee Kang is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She practices in English and Korean and aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addictions, and life changes. She welcomes conversations about caregiving strain, chronic illness, parenting challenges, and concerns like self-esteem and career stress.

Her work centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths. She treats trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and complex situations that can include co-occurring conditions. She also helps with eating and sleeping struggles, anger, intimacy questions, and issues connected to adoption, attachment, and abandonment.

In sessions she blends several therapeutic approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions. She draws on client-centered practice to keep the person's goals in focus. Cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused techniques are used to identify patterns and shift unhelpful habits.

She has seven years of professional experience and holds the LMFT credential in Oklahoma. That experience includes work with people facing severe mental health challenges and complicated family dynamics. The emphasis is practical help - talking through current problems, building coping skills, and planning small steps that fit daily life.

People who want to start are invited to share their story and goals. The therapist works collaboratively to set a pace that feels manageable, whether the focus is symptom relief, relationship repair, or coping with a chronic health condition.

How attachment, emotion work, and CBT translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and then change how they respond in close relationships. In an online setting this can mean learning to track feelings in the moment and try new interaction strategies between sessions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift them. CBT online often includes practice assignments, short skill-building exercises, and checking progress from week to week.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting focus as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit deeper, longer conversations, so the therapist will discuss what fits each client’s routine and goals.
