About Feifei
Feifei Chen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) working in Illinois with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, depression, relationship and parenting issues. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Feifei uses a direct, client-centered way of working. Sessions are a chance to talk through what is happening now and how early family patterns might still matter. She listens for recurring roles, communication habits, and expectations that show up in current relationships.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, so clients set the pace and goals for sessions. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Those tools are often used for anxiety, stress, and managing relationship triggers.
Feifei works with practical concerns like parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and immigration-related adjustment. She also addresses social anxiety, feelings of emptiness, and intimacy-related issues that stem from early family relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. People interested in exploring how family of origin issues shape daily life are invited to start by completing the site questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on what the client wants to address. In practical terms this means the therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and adapts session topics to what matters most. This is useful for sorting out family roles, communication habits, and relationship patterns.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills. Clients learn short practices to notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. These tools can help reduce reactivity in moments of anxiety, manage stress, and calm intense feelings that come up around family interactions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as they go. Early sessions often include checking how techniques feel and making small changes to fit the client's rhythm.
