Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change

Ciara Mccullough draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then identify values-guided actions that create a more meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and adjusting to major life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress, and to practise alternative strategies that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Ciara collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the style and techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Ciara is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across changing routines.
