Eileen Fung , LPC

Eileen Fung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 20 years of clinical experience providing individual psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mood and behavioral conditions.

She has developed particular expertise supporting members of the Deaf community and people in the LGBTQ+ community, attending closely to how culture, immigration history, and intersecting identities influence mental health. As a first-generation Asian-American born to immigrant parents and as someone who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community, she brings both lived experience and community advocacy to her practice and emphasizes an intersectional, cross-cultural approach to care.

Her clinical methods include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Child-Centered Play Therapy, which she tailors to each client’s age, developmental level, and goals. She is fluent in American Sign Language and seeks to make therapy accessible and affirming. As an LPC - a professional counseling license that reflects advanced training and supervised clinical experience - she aims to help clients build coping skills, improve relationships, and navigate life transitions with practical and culturally aware support.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people explore relational dynamics and build more secure ways of relating to partners, family members, and peers.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. It provides a space for clients to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports personal growth, which can be particularly helpful for identity and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and typically includes goal-oriented techniques and practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling, allow participation from different locations, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options help people access licensed professionals in ways that fit their daily life and communication needs.
