Evidence-based tools, adapted for online therapy
Chian Hsu integrates practical, research-informed methods that translate well to virtual care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to help with stress, anxiety, low mood, and challenges that come up during life transitions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills emphasize emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. This approach can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want more effective coping tools in relationships and day-to-day life. Chian also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, such as values, purpose, and meaningful connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chian collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs, culture, and pace, adjusting along the way as therapy unfolds.
