About Feifei
Feifei Chen is a licensed clinical social worker who has practiced for three years in Illinois. She speaks English and Mandarin and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strains that come with major life changes. Feifei aims to make the first step toward help feel less overwhelming for people seeking support.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. The room is set up so clients can speak honestly about family tensions, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, or career stress.
Background and approach
Feifei listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns in how they cope. Her approach draws on client-centered work, which means the client’s goals lead the conversation. Mindfulness-based ideas may be used to help calm the mind and root attention in the present.
These methods are presented in simple, practical ways rather than jargon-filled lessons. Feifei also addresses related areas such as caregiver stress, communication problems, and the emotional impact of immigration or family-of-origin wounds. She supports people working through feelings of emptiness, social anxiety, anger, and intimacy-related concerns.
Sessions are meant to be a collaborative effort. Feifei helps clients set clear, manageable goals and practices skills between meetings. The focus is on small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.

Approaches Feifei lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Client-centered and mindfulness approaches online
Feifei uses client-centered principles that let a person set the pace and goals for therapy. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you decide the next steps based on your priorities.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help reduce worry and bring attention back to the present moment. These practices can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and parenting-related overwhelm because they teach brief exercises you can use during a busy day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match what you want to get from therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send short reflections or updates between meetings and to fit support into a busy schedule. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
