Therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Goh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT is hands-on and often includes practical exercises you can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. This approach can help with chronic stress, grief, and persistent worry. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and to build healthier ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text-based messaging works well for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when people prefer written tools. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules.
