Yung-Mei Leong is a caring, empathic psychologist licensed in Maryland (MD Psychologist 04393) with twenty years of diverse professional experience across various settings, including eight years providing psychotherapy.
Her areas of focus include anxiety - including obsessive compulsive symptoms - depression, and difficulties with emotional or behavioral regulation that can make it hard to sustain positive relationships or progress in a chosen field. She also supports people navigating major life changes or stressors by offering practical coping strategies, fostering self-compassion, and helping to reframe perspective.
She cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Her approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, emphasizing the identification of unhelpful thoughts and beliefs so treatment can target strategies that empower clients to pursue a more fulfilling, authentic life.
She recognizes the courage required to begin change and is available to support and guide clients through that process.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.
Each provider is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they want a different fit. This model makes it easier to find and work with a therapist who matches individual needs and preferences.
