Evidence-based approaches for effective online care

Jiacheng (Jacqueline) Liu draws on several proven therapeutic methods to support clients in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often offering structured techniques for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening, creating a space where clients can explore their feelings and values at their own pace to build self-understanding and resilience. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or harmful behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with Jiacheng is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, accommodate busy lives, and support clients who live outside the therapist's immediate area or in other countries.
