Options for remote sessions and therapeutic focus
Teng offers online work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He adjusts the structure and pacing of sessions to suit the communication format while maintaining an emphasis on tailored goals and collaborative planning.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are used to help clarify personal values, identify patterns of thinking, and build practical skills for managing reactions and daily challenges. These approaches often involve structured exercises, reflections, and agreed-upon steps to practice between sessions. They fit a collaborative style that centers on clear goals and stepwise work.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy are also part of his toolkit when relationship patterns or emotional bonds are a focal point. These methods attend to emotional experience and relational dynamics and are combined with a client-centered stance and, as appropriate, DBT skills for emotion regulation. The online formats available include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to match client preference.What is Teng's clinical background?
