Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Kuan Hiong Sylvia Chiang uses evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate emotional and relational challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping individuals notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-driven actions - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the process, emphasizing empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their experience and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and related difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dr. Chiang works collaboratively with the person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods to suit what will be most helpful. This collaborative planning helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Dr. Chiang is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and to continue work between sessions in ways that fit everyday life.
