About Barbara

She sees adults and teens and uses practical, goal-focused methods including cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adolescents and adults, which informs her approach to parenting concerns and teen issues. Barbara emphasizes clear, accessible language and a down-to-earth tone rather than clinical jargon. She believes small changes in thinking and routine can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also works with people facing divorce, caregiver strain, social anxiety, and questions around forgiveness and self-love. LGBTQ concerns are listed among areas she supports.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Barbara uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions tend to involve working on specific skills, testing ideas between sessions, and tracking progress over time.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people develop more awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions. Mindfulness practices in sessions are brief exercises that support calmer responses to stress and panic. Solution-focused therapy is used to set concrete short-term goals and identify simple next steps that can produce visible change quickly.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Barbara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, and the plan is reviewed together so people understand why certain techniques are used.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. The practical advantage of therapy done at a distance is that it can fit into work and family schedules more easily, reduce travel time, and allow for short check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work in everyday settings rather than only in session.
