About Anderson
Anderson Yoon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 22 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, career-related struggles, and depression. He works in English and Korean and brings an academic and clinical background to his practice.
Yoon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and research experience gained during training at Harvard Medical School, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Oxford. He combines that background with practical, concrete work in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, building skills for managing strong feelings, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
He treats issues like attachment difficulties, communication challenges, control problems, guilt and shame, and problems after separation. He also supports people with impulsivity, social anxiety, panic attacks, and mood disorders. Sessions often include problem-focused strategies alongside time to process difficult memories and reactions.
Yoon’s academic role as a tenure-track assistant professor informs a structured, evidence-minded approach. He emphasizes collaboration and sees the person in the room as the expert on their own life. That means practical goal setting, skill practice, and review of progress over time.
For anyone worried about anger, he works to identify triggers, interrupt escalation, and rebuild trust in relationships. He asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and to confirm session options before booking.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Yoon uses come from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on skills and structured work. One approach emphasizes skill building to manage anxious or angry reactions - it teaches short, repeatable practices to reduce escalation and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic memories in a paced way so memories stop driving automatic reactions and distress decreases over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to identify the best fit based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and life demands. That means checking how strategies land in weekly work, adjusting methods, and setting small tests between sessions to see what helps.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. It also lets people try a few sessions to see how a therapist’s way of working feels before committing to longer-term plans.
