Approaches and ways online therapy can help
Yong draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding the person’s priorities, and building a collaborative plan based on their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when emotions feel overwhelming. Together, therapist and client decide which methods suit the situation and adjust as progress is made. Finding the right mix is part of the process, and she works with people to choose approaches that match their goals and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or parenting responsibilities and provide flexible ways to practice new skills.
