About Po

Po Yee Fung is a licensed therapist who blends Internal Family Systems with evidence-based interventions to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings ten years of clinical experience as an LMHC and LPCC working in California, guiding clients toward greater self-compassion, improved communication, and clearer life direction. Her practice emphasizes culturally informed care and attention to each person’s individual story, including sensitivities around multicultural identity and faith perspectives when relevant.

She works collaboratively to build resilience, strengthen self-esteem, and create practical coping strategies for issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, midlife transitions, and family of origin patterns. Po Yee uses a mix of relational and skills-based approaches to address co-occurring difficulties like guilt, shame, loneliness, and commitment or communication problems.

Her sessions aim to foster deeper self-understanding and actionable change, helping clients clarify values, repair relational wounds, and move toward meaningful goals at a pace that fits their needs.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people explore inner parts with curiosity and compassion, identifying protective or wounded aspects and working toward internal harmony, which can be useful for trauma-related distress and persistent patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance to support self-exploration and growth.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and presenting concerns to determine whether an IFS-informed frame, ACT practices, or a person-centered stance - or a combination - best supports each client’s needs. Adjustments are made together as work progresses to ensure the approach fits the individual.

Online therapy with this practice offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within California. These formats support consistent work on communication skills, emotion regulation, trauma processing, and value-driven changes while allowing clients to choose how they engage most comfortably.
