Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, low motivation, and situations where shifting perspective and purpose can support change.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior. This approach can help with relationship concerns, attachment issues, separation or abandonment worries, and patterns that affect intimacy and trust.

Hongru approaches online work collaboratively, helping each person find the approach or combination of methods that best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options and adapts techniques over time so that the plan evolves with the client and supports practical progress.

Online sessions with Hongru are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person meetings are not feasible.
