Hello!
I am a licensed professional counselor in Oregon and Washington with over 10 years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and life journeys, and addressing a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, loss and grief, relationship issues, cross-cultural adaptation challenges, addictions, etc.
My counseling style is client-centered and strength-based. I believe my role as a therapist is to identify and facilitate the inner power in each client, and help them connect with the healing factors in their world, for them to self heal. I offer skills building and exploration of insights. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral, and other trauma-informed therapy approaches. I will tailor my therapy methods and treatment planning to meet your unique and specific needs.
I admire your commitment and courage to take care of YOU by seeking professional help, and look forward to working with you through this season of your life!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lihong (Jess) Zheng. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I strongly recommend Jess! This experience is better than I could have imagined. Really great to be able to do this from the comfort of home. Try it!

I am so appreciative of Jess. She knows how to create a safe space and to underline moments where it might soften, change perspective, and understand why we are here in the first place.

So far, I have had a very positive experience with Lihong. She has given me space to talk about my issues, and talked to me about what she hears I’m feeling and how to navigate through it. I appreciate our time together.

Lihong (Jess) is a great therapist in my mind because she listens and gives easy to understand insights into the topic at hand. She also has a friendly non-judgmental demeanor which is comforting and makes it easy to express and talk about serious issues that I'm dealing with. She also responds to my messages and journal entries with positive insights and material that helps me understand different points of view with what I'm dealing with. I've been able to open up and discuss some of my deeper traumas and she has helped me realize that there is healing from those things. I feel that Jess is an amazing therapist that truly wants to help and has great insights to do that.
