Background and approach

She also helps clients navigate parenting stress, intimacy issues, and career transitions. Yong uses a client-centered stance as the base of her work. That means listening first to understand each person's priorities and goals.

From there she brings in techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses solution-focused methods to set clear steps forward and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship connection matters most. Sessions aim to be practical and tailored so people leave with clear next steps they can try between meetings.

Yong speaks English and provides services through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and schedule sessions.

How Yong blends approaches for online work

Yong uses a client-centered approach that begins by listening to what matters most to each person and building goals from those priorities. This approach helps guide the work and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for coping with anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy is used when strong emotions or relationship conflict make it hard to use those skills; DBT techniques focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the approach stays useful and relevant to their goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when getting on camera is hard. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working.
