About Barbara

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT-related concerns. Barbara also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career strain, ADHD and the everyday weight of life changes.
Barbara uses straightforward conversation to help people name difficult feelings. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions often include exercises that focus on emotion, thought patterns, and practical steps for coping.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of the ways to look at how emotions and attachment shape reactions. She also blends client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience, and cognitive behavioral tools that address unhelpful thinking and behavior. When appropriate, existential questions and hypnotherapy may be introduced as options to explore meaning or habit patterns.
Barbara pays attention to common problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation, caregiver stress, chronic illness impacts, and grief. She helps people work through communication breakdowns, forgiveness and guilt, and problems around abandonment. The focus is on practical moves people can make between sessions to feel steadier.

How Barbara blends approaches for online work
Barbara often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name the feelings that drive relationship and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on emotion as a guide to change and can be useful when people feel stuck in repeated responses to stress or loss.She also uses client-centered methods, which prioritize the person’s experience and pace. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can better understand their own feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common tool in her work; CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
