About Qiying

Qiying Zhou is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey who draws on 22 years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

Fluent in English and Mandarin, she combines a bicultural perspective with a client-centered stance to create an accepting space where practical strategies and personal values are both respected.

Her work often integrates evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside emotionally focused and existential approaches, tailoring interventions to the concerns presented - from sleep and stress to bipolar disorder, ADHD, or end-of-life and geriatric issues. She also addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.

Qiying emphasizes collaboration, listening carefully to each person’s story and helping them identify strengths and actionable steps. She offers multiple remote session formats so clients can choose what fits their schedule and needs, and she uses a subscription model with flexible cancellation tied to location and therapist availability.

Bringing practical approaches online - CBT and emotionally focused care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop concrete strategies to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships, making it useful for intimacy-related concerns and conflict resolution. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person’s priorities guide the pace and goals of treatment.

Choosing an approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, values, and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so that therapy aligns with the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue work through life transitions. These options allow clients to access consistent support and to try different formats to find what helps them engage most effectively with the therapeutic process.
