In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and then suggests concrete skills and small experiments. That might include tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing emotion regulation skills, or trying new ways of communicating in relationships. Sessions can also focus on grief processing and trauma-informed pacing when needed.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. In practice this means identifying hard-to-name feelings, tracking interaction cycles, and helping people try new ways of responding to each other. EFT is often used when relationship patterns and emotional connection are the main concerns.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and supports the client as they decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques such as thought records and behavioral experiments to change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yong will discuss what feels most relevant to the client's goals and try methods that match those needs. She works with clients to adjust plans and techniques based on how they respond over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow for check-ins that are shorter or more frequent when needed. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or let people avoid being on camera while still talking by phone. These practical benefits can help therapy fit everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
