She is listed with credentials LMHC and LPCC and brings ten years of experience to her clinical work.

Background and approach
Po Yee also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central. She blends practical skill-building with attention to emotional experience. Her work often focuses on issues such as abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency and commitment struggles, as well as family of origin problems and multicultural concerns.
She also supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence histories, shame, and isolation. Sessions aim to increase resilience and self-compassion while teaching concrete coping tools. Po Yee offers culturally attuned care and pays close attention to each person’s background and beliefs.
She has particular experience supporting Asian American clients and those seeking faith-aligned counseling, while respecting individual values and identity. Language options include English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. In session she helps people improve communication, sort through life purpose and midlife transitions, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.
Her approach focuses on clear goals and small, manageable steps toward change.
Online approaches that focus on values and emotions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck because it pairs acceptance of hard feelings with practical behavior change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing worry, depressive thinking, and unhelpful behavior patterns that interfere with daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotion and attachment in relationships. It helps when communication patterns and closeness are causing pain by identifying emotion-driven cycles and creating new ways to connect.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest a blend of methods. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and which tools to practice between meetings.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can be lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to use the format that helps progress toward goals.
