About Yatong Wen
Clinically, Yatong integrates evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside trauma-informed and person-centered approaches. He has undertaken formal training in a range of therapeutic methods as well as suicide prevention, crisis response, and mental health recovery, and has supported individuals through acute distress, identity confusion, and long-standing emotional pain.
Yatong also provides integration support for people processing deep or challenging experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness, drawing on his certification in psychedelic-assisted therapy to help make sense of intense material. Inspired by the trauma-informed work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, he believes healing often begins by meeting needs that were never met. He aims to offer a compassionate, respectful space where a person s story is heard, their experience is honored, and meaningful growth is possible.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Yatong works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can take meaningful steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or overwhelming stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus, exploring how early relationships shape patterns of connection and helping clients develop more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process rather than a one-time decision. Yatong approaches this collaboratively, working with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailoring methods that feel most helpful and achievable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, plus live chat and text-based messaging for more frequent check-ins or when scheduling is difficult. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, making it easier to maintain progress, access support from home, and fit care into busy lives.
