Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to values-driven action. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that form in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current intimacy, trust and communication - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment wounds and abandonment concerns. The Gottman Method is a structured approach for couples that emphasizes communication skills, conflict management and rebuilding connection, useful for relationship repair and improving intimacy.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hong works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on individual needs, goals and preferences. Therapists may combine elements from different models to tailor care and respond to changing concerns over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and other commitments. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own location, maintain continuity during life changes and use formats that suit their communication style and daily routine.
