Therapeutic approaches and online care with Haijin Fan
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation, and persistent negative thinking.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current interactions. This approach supports those struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, relationship conflicts, and family of origin concerns by exploring relational needs and improving emotional connection.
Haijin works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership in which assessment and ongoing feedback shape the selection of techniques and the pace of work.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and access therapy from the setting that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals trained in evidence-based methods.
