About Qing

Qing (Christina) Chen is an AASW-credentialed therapist based in Australia who brings a decade of professional experience to her clinical practice. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, sleep problems, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and career stress, and she has experience supporting those living with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, anger, and post-traumatic stress. AASW refers to the Australian Association of Social Workers, indicating her professional affiliation and standards of practice.

Since November 2025, she has led a global group session designed for individuals recovering from psychological trauma after car accidents, helping participants understand how trauma can affect thinking and emotion, teaching strategies to reframe anxious thoughts, and offering guided relaxation exercises and practical skills to rebuild confidence and daily functioning. She offers culturally responsive counselling for people from Chinese backgrounds and is fluent in Mandarin and English, enabling culturally attuned care for Mandarin speakers.

Qing emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own lives and works collaboratively to draw on each personâs strengths. She is accepting clients and uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each personâs goals, helping them find renewed purpose, improve communication, and manage mood and stress in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, low motivation, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like depression, worry, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and collaboration, creating a supportive space where clients explore their goals and build self-esteem and relationship skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Qing works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from home or work. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to focus on goals, coping skills, and day-to-day strategies together.
