About Fang-Yi
Fang-Yi Wu is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and life changes. She also helps with grief, self-esteem, eating concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Her sessions focus on talking through what matters now and finding practical ways to move forward. She uses client-centered methods that center the person's concerns and preferences during each conversation. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present patterns.
Fang-Yi uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to practice new ways of responding. For trauma work she can include EMDR techniques and mindfulness practices when appropriate. She explains each option and helps people decide what to try first.
In therapy she pays attention to communication problems, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Conversations address concrete situations - for example, coping with a career shift, navigating intimacy issues, or managing compassion fatigue. She helps people notice patterns and test small changes between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. Fang-Yi works with international clients as well while practicing under her California LMFT credential. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication. It can help when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship cycles cause distress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. It creates space for someone to name what feels off and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors in everyday life to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fang-Yi will discuss these methods with each person and help choose what fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Some formats require less bandwidth or no camera, which can suit shorter check-ins or people juggling work and caregiving. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your practical needs.
