About Qiying
Qiying Zhou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 22 years of experience. She speaks English and Mandarin and helps people managing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship problems, sleep issues, parenting strain, addiction, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are practical and conversational. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and emotionally focused approaches to identify patterns and try concrete changes.
Qiying emphasizes working in the client’s language and cultural context. That means she pays attention to how cultural expectations and discrimination can affect mood, relationships, and caregiving decisions. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, disaster-related stress, and seasonal affective disorder.
In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable steps. This includes tracking thoughts and behaviors, testing new ways of responding, and practicing skills between meetings. She also uses reflective listening to clarify values and goals, and to sort out relationship and intimacy questions.
Her background spans community health services in New Jersey and long experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. People who want structured, practical work on thinking patterns, daily routines, and relationship problems tend to find her approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Qiying commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments, which can be discussed and assigned during video or phone check-ins. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to clarify goals and values, which guides the plan for practical steps and homework.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is reviewed and new concerns come up.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since none are listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering options that suit someone’s routine and technology. Therapists can use those flexible arrangements to keep momentum between meetings and focus on concrete skill building.
