Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Care Online

Yu Tsun Tseng-Brown uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help people process traumatic experiences and reduce trauma-related symptoms. Seek Safety is an approach designed for people coping with both trauma and substance use, offering practical coping skills and stabilization strategies. Play therapy is used with children to allow expression and healing through play when direct verbal work is difficult.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to identify goals, review how different methods might help, and tailor treatment to fit the client's needs, stage of life, and cultural preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations when in-person visits are not feasible.
