About Qing
Qing (Christina) Chen is an AASW social worker with ten years' experience in mental health care. She focuses on everyday problems like relationship strain, sleep troubles, low self-esteem, career stress and depression. Qing speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make early steps feel manageable for people seeking help.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions look at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and relationships, and build simple strategies for coping day to day. She often uses techniques that help people notice their values, manage difficult feelings and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Qing also supports people dealing with attachment worries, body image concerns, chronic pain or illness, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Money and financial issues are part of her wider focus on life stressors and decision-making. She offers culturally aware care for clients from Chinese backgrounds.
Her work includes helping people with mood disorders, obsessive thinking, guilt and shame, and the practical impacts of immigration. Qing combines acceptance and mindfulness tools with skills-based methods to improve sleep, motivation and emotional regulation. She keeps sessions straightforward and aimed at achievable change.
Beginning therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the person. Qing emphasises collaboration - she helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks in on progress as therapy continues.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages people to notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are uncomfortable. It can help with low motivation, life purpose questions and stress about money and career. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which is useful for sleep problems, mood concerns and repetitive worries. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. Qing will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and then shape a plan together. That collaborative process helps make sure the tools fit the issue and the person’s day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and homework between sessions, and supports steady progress on issues like sleep, stress and financial decision-making without requiring large schedule changes.
