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 specialize in helping adults 18+ understand themselves at a deeper level, identify what's holding them back, and then take practical steps towards change. As someone who has relocated many times in my life and as a child of immigrant parents, I've been personally shaped by multicultural influences and value understanding how different aspects of culture also shape you.

You'll find that therapy with me is a collaborative process where you are an active participant in gaining insight about yourself, deciding your goals, and moving towards positive change. I bring a warm, empowering, and validating approach, and I also ask intentional questions and share insights of my own. I integrate multiple theoretical orientations in my work, mostly drawing on cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), emotionally focused therapy, and positive psychology.

Sessions are during the weekdays. I mainly offer telehealth sessions via Zoom but do have some in-person availability in our Dallas office.

I believe in clear communication, both from me to you but also from you to me. If you'd like to connect, you can email me directly (caroliina@bridgerivercounseling.com). Please share your name, number, what you’re seeking, and how you heard about me. If you call, please leave a voicemail with this info and include an email that I can contact you back through. Emails receive quicker replies!
