Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Barry uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and issues where avoidance has become a pattern.He also works with Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships. This approach is useful for addressing relationship difficulties, abandonment fears, and repeating interaction patterns that cause distress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool Barry draws on to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often applied for stress, anxiety, low mood, and practical problem solving.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Barry collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques across approaches so therapy feels targeted and manageable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access support from home or while traveling and allow work with registered professionals across geographic boundaries.
