Mi Yoo

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a master’s-level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) practicing in Florida. My experience working in residential treatment settings for mental health and substance use has shaped my commitment to compassionate, client-centered care. Through years of clinical practice, I’ve developed a deeper understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and life experiences impact daily functioning and overall well-being.

I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. Like many people, I have faced personal challenges that have deepened my understanding of mental health and strengthened my empathy for those I work with. I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Maine and have worked in home-based family programs, residential treatment settings, and a methadone clinic providing medication-assisted treatment. Throughout my career, I’ve supported adults with dual diagnoses, trauma, mood disorders, serious mental illness, and substance use concerns, as well as older adults navigating life transitions.

You might be the one everyone relies on—the one who keeps it together—but lately, you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe your anxiety is constant, your relationship no longer feels fulfilling, or you keep finding yourself in the same frustrating patterns and don’t know how to break them.

I work with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges—especially those who feel stuck between comfort and change. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be real (not just “okay”) while learning practical ways to feel more grounded, confident, and clear about what you truly want.

Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship uncertainty, or just feeling “off,” therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with intention.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for OCD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with finding someone trained in exposure and response prevention therapy, often called ERP. ERP is a common therapy approach for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, or rituals, read therapist bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP training, and related approaches that fit your needs.

Fort Lauderdale has a range of mental health care options across Broward County and the broader South Florida area. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including appointment times, office location, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and check whether their profile describes specific ERP training or structured work with obsessions and compulsions. A free phone consultation can also help you learn how a therapist approaches care before booking a first session.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL who matches your preferences, offers in-person or virtual care, and accepts a wide range of insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
