About Po

Po Yee Fung is a licensed therapist who uses acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She holds LMHC and LPCC credentials and works from California. Her style is direct and compassionate, with attention to cultural background and personal values.

She focuses on concrete skills like clearer communication, emotion regulation, and honest self-reflection. Sessions often include practical exercises to reduce worry, manage mood, and break unhelpful patterns such as codependency or avoidance. The aim is steady change rather than quick fixes.

Po Yee pays close attention to cultural context and faith when that matters to the client. She notes experience supporting Asian American concerns and people wanting faith-aligned counseling while treating each person as an individual. That cultural sensitivity shapes how goals and strategies are chosen.

Over a decade of clinical work informs her approach to trauma, attachment wounds, and family-of-origin issues. She uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused therapy when emotions or relationship patterns need deeper work. This helps clients rebuild trust in themselves and in important relationships.

Clients who come to her can expect a collaborative process. She helps people identify what matters most, set realistic steps, and practice new ways of relating. The work centers on lasting skills and clearer choices rather than labels or one-size-fits-all solutions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most, mixing methods when that fits the person's needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into busy schedules and fewer hours spent traveling to appointments. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that fit a work break more easily. Because exact session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking to know how sessions are scheduled and delivered.
