About Tzu-Ping
Tzu-Ping Cheng is a licensed clinical professional counselor who has practiced in Illinois for 12 years. She came to the United States in 2008 and draws on her own experiences of moving between cultures to understand big life changes. Her background gives her a practical perspective when people feel disconnected or unsure of themselves.
She keeps sessions collaborative and conversational. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She emphasizes dignity, respect, and a sense that people are more than a label. Tzu-Ping uses narrative and client-centered ideas to help people tell their story and notice options that were hidden before. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck.
These tools are chosen to match each person’s needs and goals. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and family issues, grief, addiction, ADHD, and career questions. She also helps with multicultural challenges, immigration matters, adoption and foster care issues, and gender-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and can be done through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person to a therapist and schedule a first session that fits their calendar.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you so your own priorities guide the work. This approach helps when someone wants an empathetic space to figure out their values or identity.Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can be useful for dealing with trauma, cultural transitions, or shifts in family roles. Solution-focused techniques look for small, practical steps that move a person toward concrete goals and are helpful for stress, anxiety, or habit changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the beginning of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try, check in about what is helping, and adjust the plan based on the person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which gives options for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
