Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Wing Yau draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps when connection, trust, or recurring relationship difficulties are a concern. ACT focuses on values, acceptance, and committed action - it helps people respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional regard - it helps clients explore their feelings at their own pace and develop self-understanding and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wing works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance supports practical problem solving as well as deeper personal work.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access therapists from different locations. For many people, these formats increase convenience and continuity of care while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, goal-focused support that fits individual circumstances.
