Dr. Sung Ho Kim

Dr. Sung Ho Kim helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult relationship patterns. He works with individuals who are navigating trauma, loss, and life changes and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

He brings 30 years of clinical experience as a NY Psychoanalyst (New York Psychoanalyst 000245). In sessions he focuses on understanding what matters most to each person and on small, usable steps that ease day-to-day strain. He prefers clear conversation and real-life strategies over jargon.

His approach blends a few different methods to suit each person. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxious or negative thinking. He also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to help with relationship patterns and emotional safety.

Dr. Kim often helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, adoption or foster care questions, and commitment or codependency concerns. He also works with people facing workplace pressures and aging-related challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and Korean, and he is available to international clients. People who want to begin are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tests them with concrete behavioral experiments and coping skills, which often helps with worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns show up now and guides people toward safer ways of relating and feeling understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Kim will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those needs. The therapist and client decide collaboratively if approaches should be combined or adjusted over time.

Confirm the current online session options before booking. When arranging sessions, consider what fits into your routine and daily life - shorter check-ins can slot into a work break, or a longer appointment can allow for deeper processing. Online work can make it easier to meet from another city or country and to keep therapy consistent during busy periods, but confirm the specific session formats offered before scheduling.
