About Eileen
Eileen Fung is a licensed professional counselor who brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in New Jersey.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her main approaches to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and she integrates attachment-based and client-centered perspectives to tailor care to each individual's background and needs.
Fluent in American Sign Language and English, she emphasizes cultural context and identity when addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ-related issues. Her practice also focuses on practical life challenges including grief, parenting, relationship difficulties, and coping with major life transitions.
Eileen has experience with a wide range of additional areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, gender dysphoria, hearing impairment, immigration-related stress, intellectual disability, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She frames therapy around respect for a person's cultural and community influences and aims to collaborate with clients on realistic goals and skills that fit their day-to-day lives.
Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on understanding relational patterns and how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; this approach can be useful for grief, family concerns, and difficulties in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and life context, and then adapts methods so they fit each person's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. This means clients can try skill-focused work, relational exploration, or a blend of both based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs. These remote formats can support consistent progress by allowing frequent check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and access to a licensed professional regardless of travel constraints.
