Jocelyn is a Korean American therapist offering online therapy in New York.
Jocelyn Saebom Kim, MSEd, MHC-LP
I work with adolescents and adults seeking to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. I specialize in identity development, career challenges, life transitions, adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and trauma. My approach is warm and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, existential, culturally responsive, and person-centered therapies. Together, we’ll untangle what’s holding you back, develop practical strategies for relief, and reconnect you with your values and strengths so you can move toward a more fulfilling life.

My Background
Before entering the counseling field, I worked closely with nonprofit programs and marginalized communities, witnessing firsthand the power of collective strength in addressing systemic challenges and their ripple effects. These experiences fueled my passion for social justice and strength-based, community-centered approaches. In therapy, I prioritize cultural humility and a deep recognition of both individual experiences and systemic inequities. My approach blends practical skill-building with compassionate exploration, supporting healing as both a process of growth and a journey toward deeper self-understanding and empowerment.
