Getting to know Jiaying Li

I am a bilingual Mandarin-English therapist who graduated from NYU's mental health counseling program in 2025 and am currently practicing under a limited permit in NY. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem and confidence-building, burnout and stress, and relationship and attachment issues, working with individuals, couples, and children. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow when given the right guidance and a comfortable space to do it in — that belief is what drew me to this work, and supporting others on their own self-navigation journey remains my core motivation.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is CBT-focused, drawing especially on REBT, ACT, and DBT, alongside psychodynamic and Adlerian therapy, depending on what fits your needs. In sessions, I'm open, insightful, and collaborative — a little direct at times, but always conversational rather than clinical. I see therapy as a partnership: if something about our approach isn't feeling right, tell me, and I'll adjust — your comfort and how you're feeling always come first.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We'll start with an intake conversation where I get to know you — your concerns, what matters most to you, and what you're hoping to work toward. From there, regular sessions look like conversational talk therapy, where we work together to challenge rigid thought patterns, restructure unhelpful beliefs, and build emotional regulation skills. After the first two or three sessions, I check in on how the approach feels and am always ready to shift direction if it's not the right fit — this stays a flexible, ongoing collaboration rather than a fixed formula.
