Yimeng Li, LMSW

Psychotherapist
NY
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans* I work with adults at all stages of life who feel stuck, burnt out, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is honest and collaborative-you’ll never have to figure things out alone. Together, we’ll unpack what’s weighing you down, reconnect with what truly matters, and build a life that feels more grounded, aligned, and fulfilling. I bring warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for people’s stories into every session. Authenticity and cultural humility guide my work, helping clients feel safe to explore all parts of themselves. Outside of therapy, I love discovering new music, wandering through museums, and noticing the small, beautiful moments in everyday life. If part of you is curious about therapy but another part feels nervous, that’s completely okay. You don’t have to show up perfect-just as you are. Healing begins with being seen, and I’d be honored to hold that space with you as you move toward growth and self-acceptance. Yimeng (Lexi) Li has a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Yimeng is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW #123294) in New York. Supervised by Laura DeInnocentiis, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #095834) in New York.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I know what it’s like to navigate change, cultural shifts, and uncertainty, and I bring that understanding into my work with clients. In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, caring space where your story is respected, your strengths are celebrated, and healing feels possible. My hope is that you leave each session feeling seen, supported, and a little lighter.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I support adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and major life transitions, bringing a calm and grounding presence to each session. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to create a process that’s both structured and flexible. Guided by empathy and cultural humility, I help clients build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful change.
