About Barbara

She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem concerns, and financial stress. Barbara writes in a direct, calm way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
With nine years of clinical experience, she adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Barbara uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s goals and strengths. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test small changes in behavior.
Her work includes addressing communication problems, codependency, infidelity, and the emotional impacts of divorce and separation. She also supports caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and veteran-related issues. Money and financial issues are part of the concerns she lists, and she helps clients talk through the stress those cause.
Barbara describes her style as flexible and practical. She aims to treat people with dignity and to move at a pace that feels right for them. Sessions focus on short-term goals when useful, while also making room for deeper themes when they arise.
People who choose her can expect a respectful, steady approach that balances problem-solving with listening. She emphasizes collaboration and does not push a fixed timeline. Barbara supports clients through both life transitions and ongoing struggles.
How therapy approaches and online sessions fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs understanding, validation, and a steady, respectful space to work through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses step-by-step exercises to test small changes that can reduce anxiety or improve mood. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational style that helps people find their own reasons and confidence to change, which can be useful for addiction or habit change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals, comfort, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative planning can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like worksheets and between-session coaching techniques more easily. Many licensed professionals find that therapy done remotely still supports meaningful change when approaches are chosen to match the client's life and needs.
