She brings ten years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, and the weight of relationship and trauma-related concerns. Po Yee speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and aims to make therapy practical and approachable.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build habits that match what matters most. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than big theory talks.

Po Yee pays attention to how culture and background shape feelings and choices. She offers culturally aware support and can discuss faith-related concerns when clients want that included. Her style is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on realism and respect.

Clients commonly bring stress, relationship strain, low self-esteem, past abuse, or recurring feelings of emptiness. She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. Work often combines practical skill-building with attention to emotions and meaning.

The goal of sessions is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day coping. Po Yee helps people build tools they can use between meetings and checks progress along the way.

CBT and Values-Based Care Online

Po Yee commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve setting specific goals, practicing skills between meetings, and tracking changes in mood and actions.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify values and build actions that match those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful steps, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Po Yee will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then try methods that feel like a good fit. She often combines CBT and ACT techniques so work is both practical and values-driven.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins, skill practice, and when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep consistency between sessions.
