She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges.

She uses a client-centered way of working that begins by listening to what matters most to each person.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her approach when emotion and attachment issues are central. She also brings mindfulness and existential ideas into sessions to help clients reflect on values and meaning. These methods are offered to support clearer communication, stronger emotional regulation, and better coping skills.
Barbara aims to help people make small, manageable changes that add up over time. She combines listening with structured tools and homework when appropriate. The focus is on what the client wants to change and on steps that fit into daily routines.

How her approaches translate to online work
Barbara uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help when strong emotions and attachment patterns are getting in the way of relationships or self-understanding. EFT focuses on identifying key emotions and changing the interaction patterns that keep people stuck.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person's experience and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms. These approaches can be mixed depending on what the client needs.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as they learn what works best. The therapist helps clients test small changes and brings tools back into later sessions based on progress.
