About Gezhou
LMHC Gezhou Li is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She works primarily with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety issues, and identity and sexuality matters. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and she accepts international clients.
Gezhou uses practical talk therapy to build self-awareness and clearer decision making. She draws from client-centered methods to focus on a person’s perspective, and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address distressing thoughts and emotion regulation. She also incorporates EMDR and hypnotherapy where appropriate.
Her work often centers on everyday problems parents and adults face: commitment and communication struggles, infidelity and intimacy questions, grief and life changes, sleep and stress problems, and substance- or behavior-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, and questions around non-monogamous relationships and sexuality.
Sessions are conversational and aimed at increasing awareness of patterns that repeat in life. Gezhou helps people identify specific thinking and behavior patterns and practices steps they can try between sessions. She emphasizes concrete skills for coping with anxiety, mood shifts, and interpersonal conflict.
Gezhou trained at Yeshiva University and holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. She aims to help clients recognize forces that have guided their choices and develop clearer options moving forward.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and relies on listening and reflective conversation. Online sessions can use that same conversational approach to help a person clarify goals, values, and what matters most in relationships and identity work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and practices small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions this looks like reviewing thought records, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and checking progress on practical steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. A therapist can teach and coach these skills in sessions and support practice during the week.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress and change strategies if needed.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered. Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on skill practice and real-life application.
