About Yen-Pei
Yen-Pei Huang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, addictions, parenting challenges, anger, and other life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered work. She aims to help people learn about themselves and find practical ways to manage strong emotions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and look for steps that can be tried between sessions.
Yen-Pei integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside narrative and solution-focused ideas. That means she may help a person notice unhelpful thoughts, practice simple grounding or breathing exercises, or reframe personal stories to reduce stuck patterns. The style is collaborative rather than prescriptive; the client’s goals guide the plan.
Her training includes an undergraduate degree in clinical psychology and a graduate counseling program accredited by CACREP from Indiana University Bloomington. That background supports work with assessment, coping skills, and mood challenges such as depression, bipolar concerns, panic, and post-traumatic stress.
Clients who have immigration, multicultural, or family of origin concerns are within her areas of focus. She also brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, and sexual assault and abuse recovery. Practical problem solving and clear next steps are central in sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspectives. Online sessions using this approach mean conversations begin with what the client wants to address and build practical steps together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to change patterns. Practically, CBT online can involve homework, thought records, and brief skill practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, narrative, or a mix fits best for issues like anger, anxiety, grief, or relationship stress. That decision is based on the client's needs, preferences, and day-to-day goals rather than a preset protocol.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also let someone use video, phone, or shorter check-ins depending on what helps them engage and practice new skills.
