Yen-Pei Huang , LPC

Yen-Pei Huang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people navigate life transitions and recover from difficult experiences. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person - viewing clients as active agents who can make choices and create change. Drawing on a broad training background that includes an undergraduate degree in clinical psychology and a CACREP-accredited graduate program in counseling at Indiana University Bloomington, she blends theory and practical skills to tailor care to individual needs.

Her work is client-centered, integrative, and holistic, frequently incorporating techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, Gestalt therapy, narrative approaches, and expressive art when appropriate. Yen-Pei specializes in areas such as grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, relationship and family issues, communication challenges, stress and self-esteem concerns, anger management, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. She also focuses on multicultural concerns, aging and geriatric issues, immigration-related struggles, and other life changes.

An avid backpacker who has worked with diverse populations, she brings an open-minded, flexible stance to therapy and is comfortable working across cultures. She provides services in both English and Mandarin and aims to help clients learn about themselves and discover their own paths to healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Yen-Pei Huang

Yen-Pei uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on understanding the client’s experience and supporting their autonomy, and it can be helpful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and building self-esteem.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and coping with stressful situations.

Mindfulness-based techniques are woven into her work to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings, useful for stress, anxiety, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yen-Pei will work with each client to explore which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as needed to support progress.

Online therapy with Yen-Pei is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere and allow therapy to be integrated into everyday life.
