Approaches Barbara Uses and How They Work Online
Barbara uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the individual’s goals, values, and lived experience guide the work; this approach focuses on empathy and active listening to help people build confidence and clarify personal priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful patterns. In addition, she incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when needed to support emotion regulation, reduce impulsivity, and improve interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Barbara works together with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or elsewhere. These formats offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing clients and licensed professionals to adapt sessions to what works best for the individual.
