Approach to Therapy and Online Care

Yaeeun integrates Client-Centered Therapy into her practice, which focuses on creating an understanding, nonjudgmental environment where clients explore their feelings and values while the therapist offers empathy and validation. This approach is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and adapting to life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsive patterns. CBT emphasizes clear, goal-oriented strategies that clients can apply between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are employed when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. DBT provides structured tools to manage intense emotions and improve communication in relationships.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Yaeeun works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support while accommodating work, family, or geographic constraints, helping clients access help in a way that fits their daily lives.
