About Barbara

She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at helping people find clearer footing in everyday life.

Barbara builds sessions around each person's story and strengths. She takes a client-centered approach that privileges the client's voice and priorities. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on concrete steps they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and manage strong emotions. Existential themes support reflection about meaning, choice, and values when life feels uncertain.

People often come for help with relationships, grief, parenting strain, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, or workplace stress. Barbara works with issues related to trauma, bipolar challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy concerns as well. She supports clients across a wide range of emotional needs without assuming the same plan fits everyone.

Barbara aims for clear communication and shared decision making in therapy. She invites clients to set goals and to adjust approaches as their work evolves. The focus is on practical change, greater self-understanding, and renewed confidence in daily life.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Existential Therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice, and values. Online sessions can use reflective conversation to slow down and look closely at what matters when life feels uncertain.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In remote sessions this means the therapist centers the person's concerns and adapts each conversation to their pace and needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments can be assigned between sessions and reviewed during video or text meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or time is limited, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people access consistent care from different locations and on varied schedules.
