About Eileen
Eileen Fung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who blends practical talk therapy with attention to identity and culture. She draws on two decades of work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Eileen communicates in English and American Sign Language to reduce barriers to care.
She uses approaches that focus on relationships, strengths, and thought patterns to help people handle life changes and emotional pain.
Background and approach
That can look like noticing how past attachments shape current feelings, or practicing new ways of thinking to manage anxiety and mood swings. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space to reflect on identity and culture. Eileen brings particular familiarity with LGBT concerns, Deaf community needs, immigration-related stress, and multicultural issues.
She also addresses parenting questions, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, and gender dysphoria. Her background helps her see how social context and community ties affect wellbeing. Her work often attends to mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar mood symptoms.
She incorporates straightforward tools and homework when useful, and adjusts pace to each person's needs. Many people come for short-term symptom relief or longer support during major life transitions. Eileen describes herself as an advocate and ally who notices culture, language, and identity in everyday struggles.
Her goal is to help people find clearer ways to cope, connect, and move forward in their lives.

How attachment work and practical skills translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps when past hurts or unstable bonds make trusting or relating hard in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead so they feel heard and understood, which supports exploration of identity and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and exploration, adding CBT exercises for specific symptoms, or weaving attachment ideas into skill practice.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist read facial cues and do more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or a way to process a moment as it happens. These options help people fit sessions into busy schedules and different daily routines while still accessing licensed professionals.
