Remote therapeutic approach
Dr. Duong adapts several complementary therapies for remote work, combining acceptance and commitment principles with skills-based interventions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described in accessible terms as a way to clarify personal values and practice mindful action even when difficult emotions arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to identify thought patterns and build concrete coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and mood regulation.
Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches are used to explore relational patterns and emotion processing in a collaborative manner. She frames sessions as a partnership: together the therapist and individual examine current behaviors, surface barriers to change, and choose interventions that support self-direction and greater life satisfaction.
Remote offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. These options allow the same therapeutic approaches to be applied in ways that fit an individual’s routine and comfort with technology.
