Barbara uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it teaches practical strategies for reducing anxiety and negative thinking. Another approach focuses on processing trauma in a paced way so memories and reactions become easier to live with and less disruptive day to day.Choosing the right therapeutic method is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Over time she adjusts strategies based on what helps most.
Online therapy with Barbara is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
