About Feifei
Feifei Chen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with three years of practice experience in Illinois. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, depression, and related life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Chen centers conversations on what a person is facing now and what feels most important to address. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions. Sessions tend to be practical and straightforward, with time spent on small steps that can be used between meetings.
People bring a range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, grief, and loneliness. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, immigration-related pressures, and issues that come from family of origin. Social anxiety and phobia are included among her focus areas.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Sessions look at what is working, what is getting in the way, and what manageable changes could help. Mindfulness exercises are offered when useful to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Feifei uses clear, conversational language and often suggests small behavioral experiments or simple communication skills to try between sessions. She asks clients to set practical goals and tracks progress over time. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process.
Therapeutic approaches used during online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It centers the client's concerns and supports them in finding their own solutions, which can help with interpersonal problems, stress, and decision-making.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and bodily signals without immediately reacting. This can be useful for reducing anxious reactivity and for coping with overwhelming emotions.
Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how each approach fits those needs. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what proves helpful in sessions and between meetings.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use online meetings to continue regular work on skills, practice communication, and check progress.
