About Barbara
Barbara keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name what matters most to them. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful memories and weigh practical steps for change.
Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive and behavioral tools, and emotion-focused methods to handle intense feelings. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior techniques to build coping skills and improve communication. The work often includes learning concrete strategies to reduce distress and try new ways of responding to hard situations.
Barbara has documented experience with trauma, eating and addiction concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and parental and caregiver stress. She helps people facing abandonment, attachment or blended family challenges and supports those coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain. Her focus includes LGBT issues and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and scheduled around the client’s needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How therapy approaches guide online sessions
Barbara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related avoidance.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises and skills for managing anxious thoughts, changing unhelpful patterns, and improving daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which ideas and tools to try and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since the profile does not list every format. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about available scheduling windows and how sessions are structured so they fit into your routine.
