About Yatong
AASW social worker with 4 years of clinical experience, Yatong Wen works in Australia supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, depression and ADHD. He also focuses on related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and isolation. Yatong speaks English and Mandarin.
Yatong draws on several psychotherapy approaches in his work. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. He offers integration support for people processing challenging experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness as part of his practice.
Sessions tend to centre on clear, practical steps and steady emotional regulation. He works directly on thinking patterns, behaviours and values-driven action while also attending to attachment wounds and relationship patterns. Clients can expect focused skill-building alongside space to talk about difficult experiences.
His background includes community mental health roles and training in suicide prevention, crisis response and mental health recovery. That experience informs shorter-term crisis work and longer-term process work depending on what a person needs.
Yatong aims to collaborate with each person to set realistic goals and measure progress. He encourages people to bring what matters to them into sessions, whether that is daily routines, relationship concerns, or identity questions.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters, and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early attachment needs. It helps people understand how those patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and test what fits the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins on a day off. They also allow use of practical tools in the moment, such as breathing exercises, worksheets and real-time behavioural experiments, which can be integrated into remote sessions.
