Derek Li, LPC

Derek Li, LPC

Psychotherapist
PA
Hi, I’m Derek, a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA and NJ. I help teens and adults (14+) work through life transitions, emotional distress, and performance pressure to find clarity, healing, and growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, or burnout, I offer therapy that’s grounded in science and tailored to you—at your pace, on your terms. My approach My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and flexibility. I draw from evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and neuroscience-informed interventions to create a treatment plan that fits your goals and learning style. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all—together, we’ll decide what works best for you. I value transparency and clarity. That means we’ll talk openly about what’s working, what’s not, and how to adjust. Whether you prefer a structured path or something more exploratory, I’ll meet you where you are. I also incorporate psychoeducation to help you better understand your experiences and gain tools that are practical and empowering. Clients often tell me they feel seen and supported in our work, especially when navigating complex identities, high-performance environments, or long-standing emotional challenges. I help create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and move forward—gently, boldly, or both—on your own terms. My focus I work with teens (14+) and adults navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and identity-based challenges. Many of my clients are high-performing individuals—students, medical professionals, scientists, law enforcement, and creatives—who feel the pressure to always be “on” while managing stress, anxiety, perfectionism, or burnout behind the scenes. I also support people going through major life transitions, family conflict, grief, cultural adjustment, or moments of existential stuckness.
