About Yen-Pei
Yen-Pei Huang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem, and addiction. She also addresses career concerns, coping with life changes, and LGBT-related topics.
Yen-Pei helps people learn more about themselves and find practical ways to manage hard moments. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She uses straightforward conversations and exercises rather than technical labels.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in clinical psychology and a CACREP-accredited graduate program in counseling at Indiana University Bloomington. That training supports her work with assessment and a range of counseling techniques. She speaks both English and Mandarin, which can help bilingual clients who prefer to switch languages during sessions.
Therapeutically she draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative work, and solution-focused tools. These approaches are mixed to match what an individual wants and needs. She aims to help people build coping routines, shift unhelpful thinking, and tell different stories about difficult experiences.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys backpacking and brings an interest in cultural variety to sessions. Her practice notes experience with multicultural concerns, immigration-related issues, and a wide set of mood and anxiety difficulties. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In an online meeting this means the therapist encourages the client to set priorities and guides conversations toward concrete next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking. Online sessions can include brief worksheets, thought records, and homework that fit into a young adult's daily routine.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity. These can be shown and practiced during a session and used as short daily tools. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which approaches fit their goals and preferences and adjust them over time.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around school or work. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online meetings can allow for shorter check-ins, screen-shared worksheets, or sessions that do not require travel, which helps people keep therapy consistent with busy lives.
