Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance limits meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional safety. It can help with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and coping after loss or abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, often supporting work on depression, anxiety, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Wai Kan works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access support from different locations and schedules. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to choose the format that best suits their communication style and practical needs.
