Background and approach
Teng aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful. He adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs.

He encourages small changes that add up to better functioning and greater emotional balance. If someone wants guidance on managing intense feelings or building stronger routines, Teng works to create a clear path forward.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support throughout the therapeutic process.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Teng uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating struggles. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while learning to sit with difficult feelings, which can help with motivation, stress, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Teng will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods that fit the person's situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and more interactive work. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or handle brief concerns between longer sessions. These options help people fit care into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
