Online support
Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT suits problems like anxiety, depression and stress that respond to skill-building. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult relationships and communication, and it can help when someone struggles with closeness, trust or fear of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haijin will discuss options and try methods that match a client's goals, needs and preferences. She works collaboratively so clients can give feedback and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people keep continuity of care around work and family commitments.
