About Sung
Sung Jae Shin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and panic attacks. He also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and changes that feel overwhelming. He writes in plain language and focuses on making conversations easy to start.
He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings. Sessions are aimed at helping clients name what they are feeling and try small, doable steps forward. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
His background includes five years of professional practice as an LCSW in New York. That experience has included working with depression, motivation challenges, and social anxiety. He brings those years into practical conversations about what is getting in the way day to day.
In sessions he uses approaches that emphasize present-moment choices and practical skills. He helps people experiment with new responses to fear, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and explore personal values that matter most. The tone is supportive and grounded in simple, concrete tools.
Conversations can include looking at communication patterns, dealing with guilt and shame, and reducing isolation. He also helps people clarify life purpose and build self-compassion. Anyone interested in starting can expect clear steps and a focus on what changes feel manageable.
How his approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their values and take action toward them. It teaches practical ways to accept uncomfortable feelings while moving toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety and panic. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons to change and increase motivation to try new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, motivational techniques, or a blend fits best for the situation.
