He practices in New York and draws on a long career in clinical work and academic research to support people facing overwhelming life challenges.

He approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on.

He supports people dealing with panic, mood challenges, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Yoon’s background includes a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree from Oxford, along with research training at Harvard Medical School. He also works full time as an assistant professor on the tenure track, which informs his evidence-aware approach to care.
In sessions he emphasizes clear goals, practical tools, and steady progress rather than long lists of theory. He helps people sort priorities at work, address loneliness or attachment concerns, and handle life transitions like divorce or career shifts. Conversations are aimed at identifying small, doable changes for daily life.
For someone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, he offers a calm, structured space to try new ways of coping. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability.
How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Anderson draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on teaching skills to manage anxiety and panic through step-by-step exercises and breathing or grounding practices; this helps people reduce symptoms and handle triggers more confidently. Another approach centers on addressing trauma and post-traumatic stress by carefully processing distressing memories while building coping skills to manage strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they set goals, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue work on skills between sessions and to bring workplace or daily routines into the conversation when relevant.
