About Po

Po Yee Fung provides therapy grounded in cognitive behavioral methods while integrating other evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage distress and build clearer patterns of coping.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skill-building for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem, guiding people toward improved communication and more intentional life choices. Fluency in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese supports work with multicultural concerns and helps create conversations that honor cultural background.

With a decade of clinical experience and licensure as an LMHC and LPCC, Po Yee offers a compassionate, client-centered stance that balances empathy with actionable strategies.

Her practice attends to complex themes such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, family of origin dynamics, isolation, and midlife transitions, while also addressing specific problems like domestic violence aftermath, guilt and shame, and difficulty with commitment. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on fostering resilience, self-compassion, and sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Po Yee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical strategies that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; CBT emphasizes skills practice and measurable steps to change patterns of thought and behavior. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action. Both approaches translate well to remote formats and support work on worry, avoidance, and life direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, blending methods when appropriate so treatment matches what matters most to the person. This collaborative stance ensures plans are adjusted over time as progress is observed and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and allow integrated skill practice between sessions, while enabling access from diverse locations within California.
