Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mai Huong uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s experiences guide the pace and direction of work. This approach supports self-awareness, stronger relationships, and healing from emotional pain by prioritizing the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties that interfere with daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, and it is commonly applied when trauma or past events continue to cause current problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mai Huong collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. Therapists can adapt exercises, skills practice, and therapeutic routines to these formats so care remains consistent and accessible across different communication styles.
