About Yawen
Yawen Ning is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Yawen works with people who are coping with everyday pressure and more intense experiences. She listens to each person's story and highlights strengths that can be used to move forward. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer ways to handle stress, communication breakdowns, or painful memories.
Her background includes helping people with attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and difficulties around intimacy and sexual expression such as kink, BDSM, polyamory, and sexual dysfunction. She also addresses body image, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she helps people break down problems into manageable parts. That often means noting patterns, practicing new ways to talk with others, and building small daily routines that reduce overwhelm. She encourages clients to try skills between sessions and to reflect on what helps in real life.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The subscription-based service for sessions can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Yawen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and patterns. One common approach emphasizes recognizing unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways to think and act; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach attends to relationship patterns and attachment - it helps people see how past relationships shape current reactions and supports practicing new communication habits. Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try approaches that fit the client's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide decisions. Confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of doing sessions online include fitting therapy into a busy day, cutting travel time, and having shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, try new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity when schedules change.CAreas of focus
