Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Yangyang draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support online clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter to them - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and lingering avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early and current relationships shape trust, intimacy, and safety, which is often important in trauma, relationship strain, and parenting work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and validating each person's experience, creating a respectful space where clients are guided to access their own strengths and insights.

Finding the right fit among these approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Yangyang collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let clients connect from home or while traveling. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapy that fits varied routines and time zones.
