About Fang-Yi
Fang-Yi Wu is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and she accepts international clients.
Her approach centers on clear, practical conversation. She listens to what causes frustration or repeated arguments and helps people notice patterns in their reactions. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as grounding, communications practice, and steps to reduce overwhelm.
Fang-Yi uses a mix of methods depending on what the person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current responses. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools are used for managing strong emotions in the moment.
For people with trauma, she can integrate EMDR-informed strategies alongside talk-based work to address distressing memories and symptoms. Her style is client-centered, meaning she works with each person's goals and pace rather than following a single script.
Practical matters are discussed early on. She will go over what you want to change, suggest approaches, and plan short-term steps you can try. Many clients come with anger around close relationships, work, or caregiving stress, and sessions aim to reduce that recurring intensity through concrete skills and clearer communication.
Approaches Used Online and How They Help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. It helps when anger comes from feeling misunderstood, rejected, or disconnected. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's goals to shape sessions. It supports people who need a calm, steady process to explore their feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete steps to notice thoughts and change patterns that fuel anger. It is useful for managing workplace frustration and recurring negative thinking.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit how the person responds. This is collaborative: adjustments are made over time based on what helps reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like mindfulness, CBT homework, and attachment-focused conversation to remote sessions to help manage anger and related stress.
