Background and approach
Sessions emphasize real skills for managing mood, improving sleep and eating patterns, and handling anger or addictive behaviors. Her background combines client-centered care with cognitive tools and mindfulness practices. That mix helps when someone needs both emotional support and concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas for concerns around intimacy and connection. Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Conversations identify small, doable goals and practical homework when helpful.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with the therapist adjusting methods to each person’s needs. Barbara works with issues related to grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career stress. She also supports people facing challenges tied to identity, including LGBT concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients by online formats.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and noticed, and it’s useful for concerns about self-esteem, relationship strain, and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for changing thoughts and behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing bipolar symptoms alongside other supports.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets patterns in close relationships and helps people express needs and repair connection. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and rebuilding trust after conflict.
Barbara treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She works with each person to match methods to their goals, trying strategies and adjusting based on what helps most. That collaborative process continues across sessions so the plan evolves with progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat supports focused problem-solving, and text messaging helps with ongoing reminders and brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
