About Barbara
Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and manage overwhelming feelings. Many people come to her worried about anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, or money and financial issues. She works in a straightforward way and respects each person's time and goals.
Barbara draws on a client-centered style that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to the client. She often uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Mindfulness and acceptance practices are used when they fit, helping people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck.
Her background includes work across outpatient and intensive outpatient settings, school counseling, adoption-related counseling, and support for people facing addiction and trauma. She has supported clients through mood disorders, panic, and life transitions. Barbara also brings life experience as a parent and caregiver into her understanding of family stress.
Early sessions concentrate on concrete signs of progress. Barbara asks how you will know counseling is helping and what would be different in your life. From that starting point she and the client set practical goals and check progress over time. She aims for flexible scheduling and to use session time efficiently.
People who want an experienced counselor who combines direct skills training with listening often find her approach useful. She welcomes questions about fit and scheduling before starting work together.
Approaches and online support that fit your life
Barbara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while deciding what matters most and taking steps toward those values. CBT helps identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and practices different responses to change daily behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions focus on what change will look like and on testing approaches that feel helpful.
The biography describes a flexible schedule but does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to fit sessions into a busy week. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to work well in remote sessions, using exercises, between-session practice, and goal tracking to keep progress moving.
