01About Dale
Dale Barrett is a licensed professional counselor with three decades of experience. She draws on practical, goal-focused methods to help people regain a sense of control and move forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's pace and needs.
Dale begins by helping people name what feels out of control and why that might be happening. Once those steps are clear, she works with clients to define what they want instead.
Background and approach
Together they build realistic, step-by-step plans to reach those goals. Her practice addresses common struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She also supports people facing trauma, anger, relationship strain, career changes, and mood disorders.
Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and recovery after traumatic brain injury. Dale uses several well-known therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation and stress management. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Wisconsin.
With a straightforward, calm manner, she aims to help people set small, achievable steps that add up to real change.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps that align with their values. It’s practical for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants to live more deliberately.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood disorders, OCD patterns, and many everyday stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can help when someone struggles with anger, mood swings, or impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online formats are flexible tools to make therapy fit life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier on days when being on camera is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins, brief exercises, or when writing helps someone clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and maintain steady momentum toward goals.
