About Barbara
Her sessions often focus on relationships and family concerns, along with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related issues. She also addresses intimacy and self-esteem concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and challenges around parenting and caregiving. LGBTQ concerns and bipolar disorder are also included among her areas of focus.
Barbara uses a mix of methods that match what a person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice this means she helps people notice thoughts, try small behavior changes, build emotion skills, and focus on what matters to them.
Sessions are organized around each person's comfort and goals. Barbara emphasizes listening, understanding, and a nonjudgmental tone so clients can talk honestly. She encourages practical, problem-focused steps alongside attention to feelings and relationships.

How Barbara’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and helps people name feelings and change interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds over time. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The profile does not list specific session formats beyond scheduling details, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touch-point is more useful, or offer a way to meet when scheduling across different daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to online conversations and exercises to focus on relationships, coping skills, and practical steps without promising any specific outcome.
