About Fang-Yi
Fang-Yi Wu is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. She works in English and Mandarin and practices in California.
With six years of clinical experience Fang-Yi focuses on clear, practical steps. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens first, then tailors tools and exercises to each person's needs.
Her approach blends attachment-based work with cognitive strategies and mindfulness.
Background and approach
That means looking at how early relationship patterns affect current struggles while teaching skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Mindfulness exercises are offered to build steady attention and calm during tense moments. Fang-Yi may use EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern and draws on client-centered principles to keep the work collaborative.
She aims to create a space where people feel heard and able to try new ways of coping. People come to her for help with career stress, caregiver strain, social anxiety, intimacy issues, and life transitions. Sessions include talking, practice exercises, and short at-home assignments when helpful.
She encourages steady progress and adjusts plans as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. In practice this means tracking common interaction patterns and trying new ways of relating to reduce anxiety and improve connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. It is useful for social anxiety, panic, and daily worry because it pairs thinking changes with practical behavior steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest options like attachment work, CBT, or mindfulness practices. Choices are made together and adjusted as progress unfolds to match what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers a range of formats to fit different needs: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not possible, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while still using the same therapeutic methods and exercises you would use in person.
