Dr. Declan Amadi , LICSW, LCSW

Dr. Declan Amadi offers help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or big life changes. He also supports people coping with relationship problems, attention challenges like ADHD, and issues common in LGBT communities. Dr. Amadi holds a LICSW and an LCSW and brings 11 years of clinical experience in Nevada.

He aims to make sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life. He listens for patterns that cause distress, then helps people try new ways of responding. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo.

Dr. Amadi blends several approaches to match each person's needs. He uses attachment-focused work to understand how early relationships affect current bonds. He applies cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He can also draw on client-centered and dialectical tools to build coping skills and emotional regulation.

People come for many concerns beyond mood and anxiety. He has experience with addiction, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, forgiveness work, family of origin issues, and alternative sexual cultures such as kink and BDSM. He also supports those working through divorce, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns.

In sessions he emphasizes plain language, practical strategies, and steady support. The focus is collaborative - clients set priorities and Dr. Amadi offers methods to meet them. International clients can be seen, with scheduling adapted to location and preference.

Approaches and online options for meaningful change

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses; it helps when trust, abandonment fears, or attachment wounds affect present relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or no camera is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or people who prefer written conversation. These options help fit therapy around work, travel, or different time zones.
