About Po

Po Yee Fung is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses clear, practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and support better day-to-day thinking and habits. Po Yee Fung brings a calm, steady presence to sessions and focuses on what people can do between meetings to feel more able in their lives.

She draws on therapies that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and changing unhelpful thought patterns. That means clients often practice small, concrete skills in session and then apply them at home. She pays attention to cultural background and faith when those factors matter to a person’s healing. Sessions are also oriented to building self-compassion and improving communication skills.

Across a decade of practice she has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, chronic low mood, and relationship-related distress. She often addresses related issues such as attachment concerns, codependency, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. Her approach blends practical techniques with emotional processing so people can move toward clearer goals.

She offers therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and holds licensure as an LMHC and as an LPCC. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what matters to them and step-by-step strategies for managing thoughts and everyday habits.

To begin, she typically helps people identify values and short-term goals, then co-designs a plan that fits daily life. Many clients find this balance of skill-building and reflective work helpful when navigating transitions or repairing patterns that no longer serve them.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to behaviors that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and everyday habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving communication and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they focus on what will be most useful for daily life and relationships.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows for flexible check-ins and practice between sessions, and can be adapted so skill-building and emotional work fit into everyday routines.
