Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Tiffany Ung uses a blend of approaches that translate well to remote work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, creating a collaborative environment where the therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client's own solutions. This approach is especially helpful for building self-understanding, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and includes skill-building exercises that clients can practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their readiness for change and resolve ambivalence by strengthening intrinsic motivation, which can be useful for issues like addictions, motivation struggles, and making lasting life adjustments.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Tiffany collaborates with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then adapts techniques to fit what will be most useful for that individual. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that feels realistic and meaningful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills in daily life, and access support from licensed professionals without needing to travel to an office.
