About Dawoon
Dawoon Ko is a New York licensed mental health counselor with four years of clinical experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Korean for those who prefer either language.
Her approach focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental space. She listens first and follows the person's lead. That way people can say what matters and start to make small changes that fit their life.
Background and approach
Dawoon uses practical methods that include cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and practice new habits in everyday situations. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs support finding internal reasons to change.
People come for many concerns such as family conflict, parenting strain, addiction, grief, trauma, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and challenges around identity and relationships. She also has experience with multicultural and immigration-related stressors and supports those navigating gender dysphoria or non-monogamous relationship dynamics. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on availability. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches Dawoon lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How conversational approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping people feel heard and understood so they can make changes at their own pace. It is useful for emotional issues like anxiety, anger, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep or eating disruptions by giving practical exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Decisions about technique are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
