How Barbara’s Approaches Work Online

Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions, then practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-directed and brief, focusing on what is working and building practical steps toward desired changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Barbara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt techniques to fit those needs. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins during breaks. It also supports regular skill practice between meetings so people can apply new tools in daily routines.
