About Qiying
Qiying Zhou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. Sessions can be in English or Mandarin.
Zhou uses clear, conversational talk therapy to help people name what is happening and try different responses. She leans on client-centered methods that focus on the person's perspective and on cognitive behavioral techniques that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationships and closeness are at issue.
Her practice grew from long work in community health settings across New Jersey. That background includes counseling people dealing with illness, end-of-life concerns, caregiving strain, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. She also brings attention to multicultural and prejudice-related stressors.
In sessions she helps people sort practical steps for day-to-day problems like sleep disruption, work stress, or parenting strain. She also addresses longer-term patterns such as recurring anger, low self-esteem, or mood shifts linked to bipolar disorder.
She emphasizes working through language and cultural barriers when that matters to the person. People who prefer Mandarin or English can use either language during talks. To begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approach and how online sessions can fit
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps the person clarify goals and next steps. This approach helps with feelings that come up around anger, stress, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for mood problems, anxiety, sleeping difficulties, and anger-related patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to how people relate and respond in close relationships. It helps identify emotional patterns that lead to distance or conflict and supports learning new ways to connect where intimacy is a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss these methods and help decide what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work and family demands, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Ask about language options when arranging appointments since English and Mandarin are both offered.
