Barbara Dunn, LPC

Barbara Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, anger, career stress, ADHD-related concerns, and caregiver fatigue. Barbara lists Supporting carers as a focus and often helps with caregiver issues and the emotional load that comes with that role.

She takes a straightforward, down-to-earth style in sessions. Barbara uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set small, workable goals and mindfulness practices to ease intense moments.

Barbara has worked in counseling for 24 years. That experience shapes a practical, approachable way of working. She keeps the conversation simple and aims for steps clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through what feels hardest, try short exercises, and agree on next steps. Humor and realism are part of her approach when appropriate.

Outside of work she enjoys being outdoors and spending time with family. To begin a match, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Barbara’s Approaches Work Online

Barbara uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into parts you can work on step by step, which can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and stress.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Those exercises can lower reactivity and help when emotions feel overwhelming. Solution-focused therapy is part of her work too, which means setting small, realistic goals and building on what already works in someone’s life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, or choose sessions that match a quieter time of day. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and coping strategies so they work well between meetings.
