Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Mai-Han often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR along with motivational interviewing to meet a range of needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day challenges. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall, making it a commonly used option for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that supports people who feel ambivalent about change by strengthening their own motivation and commitment.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mai-Han collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts treatment as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and responsive.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access skilled licensed professionals from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
