Feifei Chen, LCSW, LICSW - Therapist in Illinois

About Feifei

Feifei Chen is a licensed social worker who brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She is licensed in Illinois as an LCSW and also holds a LICSW credential. Feifei speaks English and Mandarin and focuses on everyday struggles that affect family life and personal wellbeing.

She helps people facing stress and anxiety, depression, and relationship or family tensions. She also supports clients through career challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and nonjudgmental so people can talk about what matters most. Feifei uses client-centered work to follow each person’s goals and pace. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice feelings and manage difficult moments.

Together she and the client choose the steps that feel most useful. Her approach is straightforward and practical. Feifei listens first, then helps identify small, doable changes that can improve daily life and family interactions.

She aims to make therapy feel calm and manageable, even when problems feel overwhelming. Parents and caregivers who want clear support for family-related stress often look for this style of care. Feifei focuses on building trust and steady progress so people can find better ways to cope and connect.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Feifei blends client-centered therapy with mindfulness practices to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around the client’s goals; it helps when someone needs a safe place to sort out family problems, communication issues, or life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily coping for stress and grief.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needs and goals change. The process is paced to match each person’s comfort and readiness.

Online formats let people access this work from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work, and family life while keeping continuity between meetings. The variety of formats also allows different ways to communicate when a live conversation or brief check-in is more useful.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
