Feifei Chen , LCSW, LICSW

Feifei Chen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings three years of professional experience to her work. She speaks English and Mandarin and focuses on helping people navigate common life pressures.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety and addresses depression and career-related worries. She also supports those dealing with family conflict, separation, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Women's issues are a noted focus among her topics of attention.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to create an open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. Sessions emphasize listening first, then finding small steps that fit a person's life and goals.

Feifei uses client-centered approaches that follow each person's pace and priorities. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice how they react to stress and to find calmer ways to respond. These methods are practical for coping with anger, isolation, or overwhelming change.

People often come for help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, or the emptiness that follows big life shifts. Feifei works with young adults and adults who want clearer direction or steadier day-to-day coping. She can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging according to what fits best.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone to her practice so scheduling can follow. The process is meant to be simple so people can focus on the work ahead.

How client-centered and mindfulness work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters most to each person and shaping sessions around their goals and pace. It is useful when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental place to talk through stress, relationship concerns, or life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. Those techniques can help with anxiety, anger, and coping with grief or ongoing life pressure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and try out methods that fit their goals. That collaborative process helps determine whether client-centered conversations, mindfulness exercises, or a mix feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows quick notes or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact when helpful.
