About Qiying
Qiying Zhou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and parenting concerns, addiction, grief, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Zhou uses practical, talk-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and everyday pressures. She often draws on client-centered work to focus on each person's concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques help people notice and name feelings that affect relationships.
Her background includes long-term work in community health settings in New Jersey. That experience includes supporting people facing illness, end-of-life issues, and the stresses that follow disasters. She also notes experience with multicultural issues and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Zhou describes herself as bilingual and bicultural in English and Chinese (Mandarin and Shanghainese). That background guides how she communicates and connects on culturally influenced topics. She emphasizes clear, patient listening and straightforward problem-solving in sessions.
People who come to her can expect a conversational approach that combines empathy with practical tools. She offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions alongside clinical strategies for mood and anxiety concerns. If you prefer to work in Mandarin, she provides care in that language.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. It centers the conversation on a person's concerns and preferences, and it can help with stress, low mood, and parenting tensions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and for managing stress related to work or relationships.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name strong emotions that affect how they relate to others. It can clarify patterns that lead to repeated arguments or feelings of distance in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as people make progress or face new challenges.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for short check-ins during work breaks, and reduce travel time. If you prefer to speak in Mandarin, ask about language options when you schedule so sessions match your needs.
