Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Dr. Sung Ho Kim draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors that can keep stress, anxiety, or depression going, then practicing practical ways to respond differently. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be especially helpful during grief, life transitions, or ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence emotions and connection, offering a framework for strengthening communication and navigating relationship dynamics with more clarity and steadiness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Kim works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adapts the focus and pace to fit their needs over time.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible and flexible. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels more convenient. This range of options can help people stay engaged in therapy while balancing work, family responsibilities, travel, or changing schedules.
