Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used for understanding and shifting painful emotional patterns in close relationships. With more than 20 years of practice in New Jersey health care settings, she has supported people through grief, substance use concerns, parenting strain, work stress, and end-of-life issues. That background informs a steady, experienced presence in sessions.

She also brings attention to cultural and language factors when they matter to the person. Sessions may include practical skills, guided conversation, and short exercises to try between meetings. The aim is to identify small, manageable steps that reduce distress and build coping.

Progress is reviewed together so the plan adjusts as needs change. Qiying welcomes people who prefer to work in English or Mandarin. She practices from New Jersey and draws on years of community health experience to help people move through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to change and supports choices that make sense for their life. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, respectful space to sort through worries and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It pairs short in-session work with practical exercises to try between meetings, and it is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name and shift difficult emotional patterns in close relationships and can reduce repeated conflict or withdrawal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess needs, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that centers the person’s values and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for more in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quiet window is short. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue steady work toward coping with anxiety and life change.
