Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that support a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape emotion and behavior. It helps people explore connection, trust, and communication issues in relationships and family dynamics.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jookyoung Jackie Faana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to create a personalized plan that reflects the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to meet where it’s most convenient. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes consistent care more accessible for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance from therapists.
