About Sung
Sung Jae Shin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Korean.
Sung Jae works directly with people who want clearer thinking and steadier mood. He uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address anxious thoughts, low mood, and problems with motivation. Conversations cover everyday patterns, reactions to stress, and small steps that change how a person feels and acts.
Motivational Interviewing is part of how he helps people clarify goals. He listens for what matters to each person and helps translate that into doable action. This can include improving communication, reducing panic symptoms, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.
Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Sung Jae keeps language plain and concrete so parents and busy adults can follow along. He encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts plans when life changes require a different focus.
He accepts international clients and offers guidance for clients who prefer English or Korean. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The payment model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. In practice this means learning simple exercises to notice thoughts, clarify values, and take steps that line up with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. Sessions often include small homework tasks to practice new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening internal reasons to move forward.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. That means starting with an approach and shifting course as needs become clearer.
The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats work better for quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth, while others suit longer skill-building sessions. Discussing these practical preferences helps match the session type to everyday life.
