Po Yee Fung is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional clinical counselor with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Po Yee speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and practices from California. Her work favors practical, person-centered strategies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to build coping skills for anxiety, mood, and emotion regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas inform how she addresses painful relational patterns. Po Yee often supports clients coping with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. She also helps people managing guilt, shame, isolation, and family of origin issues. Her approach pays attention to cultural background and the ways identity shapes emotional life. Sessions focus on concrete skills and gentle reflection. Clients can expect help with building self-compassion, improving communication, and developing daily routines that reduce overwhelm. When trauma is part of the story, she incorporates methods aimed at reducing the emotional hold of traumatic memories. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more steady emotional footing. Po Yee emphasizes collaboration in setting goals and choosing techniques that fit each person. She frames progress as a series of small, practical steps toward a more manageable life.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It offers concrete tools that translate well to online sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close connections and communication, and it can help people change painful interaction patterns even when meeting remotely.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and then collaborate on which methods to try. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new needs emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone works when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or fitting support around a busy schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
