About Qiying

Qiying Zhou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 22 years of experience. She speaks English and Mandarin and often supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns. She also addresses career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and adjustment after disasters or loss.

Qiying draws on client-centered work to build a straightforward, respectful therapeutic relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to improve emotional connection in relationships. She also brings existential questions into sessions when people are weighing values, purpose, or end-of-life concerns.

In practical terms she listens for what’s getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions often involve setting clear goals, trying small changes between meetings, and checking what works. There is attention to cultural background and language when that affects how someone understands their situation and options.

Her experience includes counseling in health care and community settings in New Jersey, including work related to hospice and geriatric issues. That background informs how she addresses the emotional ripple effects of illness, aging, and bereavement.

People who want a clinician familiar with both Western and Chinese cultural perspectives may find her approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to select a first appointment.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. Online sessions can use that same style by prioritizing the client's concerns, clarifying goals, and adjusting pace to what feels manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with structured techniques such as activity scheduling and thought records that translate well to remote work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express emotions and improve emotional connection, which can be practiced and reflected on during video or phone meetings.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust methods if something is not helpful. The client’s preferences and life demands guide which approaches are used and how sessions are structured.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions around work or caregiving schedules, reducing travel time, and choosing a format that makes check-ins easier when days are busy. Some approaches such as CBT are straightforward to practice between meetings, and emotionally focused work can continue via regular remote sessions, with the therapist recommending homework and brief check-ins to support progress.
