About Yen-Pei
Yen-Pei Huang is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people find practical ways forward. She listens without rush and supports clients as they decide what matters most. Sessions aim to uncover strengths and small steps toward change.
With 14 years of experience, she blends client-centered care with tools from other approaches. That means the conversation centers on the person's needs while drawing on strategies like cognitive behavior work and mindfulness when helpful. She uses short exercises, guided reflection, and clear goal-setting so people leave with tangible ideas to try between sessions.
Yen-Pei studied clinical psychology for her undergraduate degree and completed a CACREP accredited counseling program at Indiana University Bloomington. She uses that training to help with assessment questions and to shape practical plans that address stress, anxiety, mood changes, and trauma recovery. Her work also includes grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and job- or life-transition coaching.
She has experience with communication problems, family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin to support bilingual clients.
People who choose her often want a collaborative, respectful space where they can name their goals and practice new ways of coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first appointment according to therapist availability.
Approaches for online therapy and what they involve
Yen-Pei blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to support online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead so goals come from the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to help manage stress and ground people in the present.Finding the right mix is part of the work together rather than a one-time choice. Yen-Pei approaches this collaboratively, checking in about how each technique feels and adjusting plans based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. The process is paced to fit what the client wants to try next.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online sessions helpful because they can more easily fit therapy into a busy day, use shorter check-ins when needed, or choose audio-only contact if video is difficult. Online work still allows for structured skill practice, reflective conversation, and short homework tasks that support steady progress.
