Hi, I’m Dr. Caroliina Ying! I am a Licensed Psychologist in TX, and I graduated with my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M University.

​

I’m someone who has moved around many times in my life and experienced many different environments. This means that my cultural background and identity is more complex than a few simple descriptions. It’s partly because of these personal experiences that I highly value the importance of cultural factors when working with clients.

​

In therapy, I aim to build a collaborative, empowering relationship together and hope that you feel safe to explore a variety of concerns. I try to understand each client holistically, which includes your cultural context and other things that you consider an important part of who you are.

​

I also believe in setting goals together and pursuing the steps to reach those goals. I will both invite you to share your desired focus for each session and also direct our sessions at times. Many times, I try to work together to identify some "takeaways" based on our sessions that you can then apply in your life.

​

I integrate multiple theoretical orientations in my work, mostly drawing on cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), positive psychology, and existential theory. Some areas that I focus on include: anxiety concerns, cultural/ethnic issues, relationship issues, grief/bereavement, trauma, depression, religion/spirituality, obsessive compulsive concerns, and career concerns. I primarily work with adults (18+). I can provide services in both English and Mandarin.
