Barbara works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns among other issues.

Her approach is warm and supportive. She aims to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions focus on practical steps that match each person’s needs and goals. Barbara encourages clients to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Barbara uses a mix of methods to help people cope and make changes. She emphasizes personal values and mindful action, while also teaching skills to manage upsetting thoughts and behaviors.

Online approaches that fit daily life

Barbara commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action, which helps with motivation, difficult emotions, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel substance use.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that match those needs. That process may include trying a technique for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps most.

Session formats are not fully specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or outside typical work hours. It can also let people pick shorter check-ins when needed, or continue regular sessions from a consistent location. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to work well in virtual sessions so progress continues between meetings.
