Heyjin Oh, AASW

Heyjin Oh is an accredited social worker (AASW) with four years of professional experience in mental health. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, depression, and major life changes, offering steady guidance through often challenging times.

She approaches therapy collaboratively, working alongside each person to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. Heyjin adapts her work to each individual, helping clients identify priorities, develop coping strategies, and move toward goals that matter to them.

To support emotional wellbeing and transitions, she uses a variety of therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and family therapy. Heyjin integrates these approaches to respond to a range of concerns and to tailor interventions to the needs of the person she is working with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage stress, mood, and behaviour, which can support progress with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that shape relationships and emotional responses, offering tools to address attachment concerns and family or interpersonal difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Heyjin works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and together they select or combine methods that fit best for the situation. This shared decision-making helps tailor treatment to what will be most useful for the client.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distances, accommodate busy lives, and make it easier to attend sessions in different settings while maintaining the therapeutic focus.
