About Po

Po Yee Fung, LMHC, LPCC, uses a person-centered approach that helps people build self-compassion and stronger communication. She focuses on practical steps people can take when feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or relationship stress. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people make steady changes that fit their daily lives.

With ten years of clinical experience, she guides people through common concerns like trauma, attachment wounds, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin issues. She also addresses co-morbid problems such as codependency, guilt, and shame. Sessions emphasize clear skills for managing emotions and rebuilding trust in relationships.

She offers culturally sensitive care and pays attention to how background and values shape a person’s struggles. There is particular experience supporting Asian American clients and people seeking faith-aligned counseling. Language options include English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

Therapy often combines evidence-based tools to reduce anxiety and depression while strengthening self-worth and purpose. Po Yee helps people work through communication problems, commitment worries, and midlife transitions with concrete strategies and ongoing support.

She aims to collaborate with each person to set realistic goals and track progress. To begin, clients select the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and finding clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and depression going, then testing small changes to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect and communicate in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, culture, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting plans together over time.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and school by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also let people focus on skill practice between sessions, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps them participate. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT techniques to work well in remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements during the scheduling process.
