About Qiying
Qiying Zhou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, substance use, stress, grief, relationship struggles, and life changes related to illness, aging, and loss. She is bilingual in English and Mandarin and brings that background into sessions.
Zhou uses clear, conversational talk in sessions. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them name feelings that are hard to describe. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at patterns of emotion and interaction, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach as well.
People meet for focused conversations about what is happening now and what they want to change. Zhou supports practical steps such as coping skills for stress, strategies for sleep, and plans to manage mood or addictive behaviors. She also addresses multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice or discrimination.
Her background includes long-term work in community health settings in New Jersey with individuals who have faced serious medical and life transitions. That experience informs work with end-of-life concerns, hospice support, and aging or geriatric issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provider's online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and the patterns they create. It can help people see how emotional responses shape interactions and personal reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's concerns, giving people space to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and supports skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods make sense based on goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions to continue through life transitions such as relocation, medical treatment, or travel. Ask about current options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
