About Qiying
Qiying Zhou is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who speaks English and Mandarin. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions, relationship strain, and the fallout from major life changes. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and respected.
With 22 years of experience in New Jersey health care settings, she has worked with people facing illness, end-of-life concerns, and the emotional effects of trauma. She also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disaster and the special challenges that come from cultural or language differences. Her bilingual, bicultural background helps bridge gaps for people who prefer to speak in English or Mandarin.
Qiying uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She often focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding, while honoring each person’s feelings. She encourages small, doable steps that fit into everyday life.
People can expect a collaborative process that centers their goals. Sessions are conversational and interactive, with space to reflect and try new strategies. Qiying aims to help clients find clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and more satisfying connections.
She welcomes discussion about concerns such as career stress, parenting strain, bipolar mood management, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, aging issues, and hospice or end-of-life topics. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on making the conversation feel safe and respectful, allowing the client to lead the topics while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, validation, and practical steps to feel steadier. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches simple ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Expect a conversation about what feels most useful and adjustments over time as progress is reviewed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they work with your routine and concerns.
