How he uses attachment, client-centered work and CBT online
Dr. Dang draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions. This approach looks at patterns of connection and helps people recognize recurring responses in close relationships. It can be useful for issues like loyalty conflicts, separation concerns, and trust problems. He also practices client-centered therapy, which means conversations start from the person’s priorities. That style emphasizes listening and following what matters to the individual while helping them name goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to break down unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding to stress or anxiety. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what the client finds useful. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins, avoiding travel, or choosing times that work around family and work. Ask about specific session arrangements when scheduling so practical needs can be matched to the way sessions are offered.Areas of expertise
