01About Philicia
Philicia Barbieri offers a calm, practical approach rooted in accessible therapy methods. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to create space for people to slow down and feel heard. Philicia draws on mindfulness, talk therapy, and movement to help clients take small, useful steps forward.
She has worked in counseling since 2013 and completed a Master’s in Professional Counseling in 2015.
Background and approach
That decade of experience includes crisis work, community programs, and leading group sessions. Those roles shaped a direct but compassionate style that focuses on what a person needs right now. Sessions often blend cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing.
Philicia uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma processing is needed, and she brings trauma-informed care to sensitive topics. Yoga and breathing exercises may be added as concrete tools to manage stress and build resilience. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and life changes.
She also helps people facing chronic pain, fertility struggles, or problems with impulsivity and self-esteem. Work is goal-oriented and practical, with a focus on skills people can use between sessions. Philicia meets people where they are and collaborates on next steps.
She offers sessions in multiple formats and accepts clients across state lines, working to make therapy fit each person’s life.

04Online support
How evidence-based approaches fit online care
Philicia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness tools in online sessions. CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that guides people through processing painful memories a step at a time, useful for those whose past events feel stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then suggests methods that match those needs. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan as progress and comfort evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins; live chat and text-based messaging suit ongoing support between appointments or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life while still using CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness in real sessions.
