About Feifei

Feifei Chen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings three years of direct practice experience. She speaks both English and Mandarin and focuses on helping people facing strong emotions and life changes.

Her work centers on creating a calm, open space where clients can talk without judgment. Sessions emphasize listening first, then helping people name what they feel. Feifei aims to make each conversation feel straightforward and human, not clinical or confusing.

Background and approach

Many people come to her upset about stress, anxiety, grief, or problems at home and work. She also supports those coping with parenting strain, relationship tensions, career shifts, and anger. Her approach helps people sort through immediate concerns and find small, practical steps forward.

Feifei uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's own goals and strengths. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Together these approaches are useful for reducing reactivity and building clearer choices in daily life.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Feifei aims to make starting therapy simple and respectful. She helps people set realistic goals and checks in about what is helpful as therapy continues.

How client-centered and mindfulness methods work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. The therapist offers reflective listening and supports each person to make their own choices, which can help with relationship issues, parenting concerns, and feelings of emptiness.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting. It can help reduce reactivity to anger and anxiety and make it easier to try new responses in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and adjust methods together over time rather than imposing a single plan.

Online sessions can be flexible in format and timing. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments and to keep regular contact when progress needs steady support.
