Approaches That Guide Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop practical actions that align with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns, aiming to repair and strengthen relational connections and address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, supporting relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many eating and mood-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Qian works collaboratively with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access therapy from home, during work breaks, or while travelling within the same country. These options can make it easier to attend regularly, maintain momentum between sessions, and fit care into a busy life, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt techniques to the online format.
