About Po
Po Yee Fung is a licensed therapist who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She brings ten years of clinical experience and speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Po Yee focuses on clear, usable skills that people can try between sessions.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build alternative behaviors.
How Po works
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is applied when emotion and attachment shape how someone connects with others. Po Yee aims for simple, step-by-step work. Sessions often include practicing communication skills, building self-compassion, and setting small goals.
She also addresses trauma and abuse using approaches that help process intense memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Her practice pays attention to cultural background and to how upbringing shapes current patterns. That includes exploring family of origin issues, multicultural concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
She helps people sort out patterns like codependency, commitment worries, and forgiveness challenges. In sessions she blends active problem solving with space to feel and reflect. People leave with concrete strategies for coping, clearer communication habits, and steps toward a more meaningful life.
The therapist’s style is warm, direct, and focused on practical change.

Online support options
Online options grounded in ACT and CBT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck when avoidance has taken over.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach is practical for depression, worry, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Over time the plan can shift based on what works, combining elements of ACT, CBT, or emotionally-focused work as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face for skills practice and emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other obligations while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
