Eileen Fung , LPC

Eileen Fung is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with two decades of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. She provides individual psychotherapy with attention to how culture, identity, and community shape mental health and resilience. Fluent in American Sign Language, she has a strong focus on members of the Deaf community and people across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, bringing a nuanced awareness of intersectionality and cross-cultural dynamics to each therapeutic relationship.

Her clinical work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also focuses on adoption and foster care, attachment issues, gender dysphoria, immigration challenges, intellectual disability, mood disorders, panic, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, sexuality, social anxiety, and women’s issues. These specialties reflect a commitment to meeting clients where they are and tailoring care to individual needs.

Eileen draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create collaborative, strengths-based treatment plans. As a first-generation Asian-American, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and an advocate for Deaf individuals, she centers cultural context and lived experience as essential elements of the healing process.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Eileen Fung draws from several proven approaches to guide virtual work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people who struggle with close relationships, attachment issues, or the effects of relational trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist’s empathy and unconditional positive regard - this approach supports clients in exploring values, identity, and self-worth at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Eileen works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. She considers the client’s goals, life context, and communication preferences when shaping a treatment plan and remains flexible as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, mobility needs, and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
