Eileen Fung, LPC

Eileen Fung uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core part of her approach. She combines that with attachment-informed and client-centered ways of working to help people manage tough moments. Eileen is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in New Jersey with two decades of experience.

Eileen focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce anxiety and stress. She addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar conditions and helps people cope with grief and major life changes. Relationship and parenting concerns are also part of her practice, along with issues around self-esteem and anger.

She brings particular attention to LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, and multicultural issues. She also has experience with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and immigration-related stress. Her background includes work with people who are hearing impaired, and she communicates in American Sign Language as well as English.

Eileen emphasizes understanding how culture and community shape a person’s experience. Sessions focus on practical skills, clear communication, and building routines that support wellbeing. She aims to make therapy a place to try out new ways of coping and to solve everyday problems.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and step-by-step strategies rather than long theory talks. Over the years she has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, panic and social anxiety, sexual and relationship concerns, and mood disorders. Her work is informed by attention to intersectionality and the multiple parts of a person’s identity.

CBT and Attachment-Informed Care Online

Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is helpful for anxiety, panic, social phobia, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to strengthen emotional safety in close connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathic reflection, and building on the person’s own strengths to guide change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, relationship patterns, or reflective listening.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
