How Barbara applies practical therapies online

Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts that increase stress and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on specific thinking patterns and teach concrete skills to test different ways of responding in daily life.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, actionable steps and measurable progress. That approach helps people set short-term goals and try simple experiments to see what changes help most with relationships, work, or purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then agree on practical methods to use. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits the client’s needs and pace.

The original biography does not specify which online formats she offers, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity during life transitions while focusing on concrete steps people can practice between meetings.
