About Yen-Pei

Yen-Pei Huang greets anxious parents with steady, practical support. She is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with 14 years of experience. She speaks English and Mandarin and offers straightforward help for stress, anxiety, grief, mood problems, parenting concerns, and related life challenges.

Yen-Pei focuses on listening first and learning what matters most to each person. She helps people notice patterns that cause pain and tries small, manageable changes that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be a calm place to sort priorities, practice new ways of coping, and build confidence over time. Her way of working blends client-centered listening with clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on narrative ideas to help people retell their experiences in less harmful ways.

The approach is collaborative - the therapist and client choose techniques together based on needs and goals. Yen-Pei trained in clinical psychology for her undergraduate degree and completed a CACREP accredited graduate counseling program. She has worked with diverse communities and brings a flexible, down-to-earth style to sessions.

Her background supports practical problem solving rather than technical jargon. Parents will find short, focused steps they can try between meetings. The work often includes practicing coping skills, shifting negative thoughts, and developing clearer communication habits.

Yen-Pei aims to help people feel more capable and less overwhelmed as they make changes.

Practical approaches for online support

Yen-Pei often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses concrete exercises to change them, which helps with anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily responses without reacting, which can reduce overwhelm and improve emotional balance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to try methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan if needed, so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. This variety lets people pick a format that suits their schedule and comfort level. The combination of practical tools and flexible communication aims to make consistent progress possible even with busy family life.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

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.
