Integrative approaches for online therapy
Barry Dolan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and develop practical steps toward a meaningful life - ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties that involve avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy is employed to explore patterns in relationships and emotional bonds, which can be especially helpful for issues rooted in early connections, trust, and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of work while the therapist offers empathy and understanding to build self-awareness and confidence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barry works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts the plan as the work progresses to ensure the best possible match.
Online therapy with Barry can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively use these formats to deliver structured, person-centered treatment tailored to each client.
