More about Hong

  • 11 years' experience

  • AASW, PACFA

I am credentialed in Australia with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, immigration issues, career change/planning, self esteem, confidence & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

My clinical counselling strategies include CBT, ACT, Solution-focused, Mindfulness, Strength-based, Motivational interviewing, Interpersonal psychotherapy, Trauma-informed approach as well as Gottman Method for couple counselling/therapy and systemic family approach. I apply the biopsychosocial assessment to understand you and the situation holistically.

My practice is based on the person-centered approach that places human dignity firmly in the center. I would like to help you understand the source of your problems and to support you find the solutions and develop the skills so you can create the life you want.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
