She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people see the stories they tell about themselves and try new interpretations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and to practice different responses.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Yen-Pei often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at the meaning behind events and opens up different ways to understand problems like trauma, grief, or relationship strain. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of responding that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to a person’s goals and tries different techniques to see what fits. Together they check progress and adjust methods so therapy stays useful and focused on real changes the client wants to make.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed; chat and messaging suit quick updates or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, parenting, or travel while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
