My Approach to Helping
Hi there and Aloha! My name is Josephine Asiata-Tuuga and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in Puyallup, WA, but my license is in the beautiful state of Hawaii, working with clients statewide via telehealth.
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each person I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy paired with Mindfulness-based Therapy. Each therapeutic modality supports the client and myself in building a rapport, and an understanding of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; while accepting each of the aforementioned and developing steps toward forward progression
