Integrative therapeutic approaches for online work



Declan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and reconnect with personal values - an approach useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and issues with closeness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace of change and the therapist offers empathy and understanding - this can benefit self-esteem, grief, and coping with complex emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Declan works collaboratively to identify which methods align with a person's goals, preferences, and current needs, adapting the plan as work unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists often blend styles in this way to best support each individual.

Online therapy with Declan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps people access support around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow therapy to fit into everyday life while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and collaborative process as in-person work.
