Barbara Kass helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship strain.
01About Barbara
Barbara Kass helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose. Barbara Kass holds an MD and is an LCPC, which she uses as part of her work in Maryland.
She favors a collaborative style. Sessions are practical and conversational. She listens first, then offers tools clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness, breathing, and expressive writing are common skills she teaches. Her approach draws on several psychotherapy traditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternatives.
Client-Centered methods keep the client’s goals and voice at the center of the work. Jungian and existential ideas inform deeper meaning and life-purpose discussions. Barbara has around 11 years of experience in clinical settings.
Her background includes work in hospitals, clinics, county services, and independent practice. That range has shaped an ability to adapt interventions to different life situations. She is comfortable addressing spiritual and religious concerns when they matter to a client.
Practical tools, breathing and meditation exercises, and attention to body awareness are regularly part of sessions. The overall aim is to help people reconnect with their natural capacity to heal and move forward.

04Online support
Online approaches for practical change and meaning
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on accepting the person's experience and working at the client's pace. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce anxiety or depression. It is practical and often involves exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve emotional coping in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may change over time as the client tries tools and notices what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or when a written pace feels better. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills between sessions.
