Getting to know Yao Lu

Yao is a counselor associate supervised by Dr. Cynthia Lee Coronado. Yao values supporting clients through a collaborative and individualized process that builds on their strengths. She believes that therapy is a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences at their own pace. Yao’s approach to therapy is primarily person-centered, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT) techniques. She is responsive to each client’s unique background, and her own cross-cultural experience helps her deeper understand how culture shapes one’s values and perspectives. She is also flexible in incorporating creative approaches based on individual needs, helping clients engage in a process that feels meaningful and accessible to them. Yao works with adolescents and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. She provides support as clients process emotions, build coping skills, and develop greater awareness and functioning. Yao is bilingual in English and Mandarin.
