Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Baotran Amanda Nguyen uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist follows their needs. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help with life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and emotional processing.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills development.

Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - is another approach Baotran draws from when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance are priorities. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive or self-harming behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Baotran collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time to find the best fit for each individual or family.

Online therapy with Baotran is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support.
