Barbara Traylor-Lane

Barbara Traylor-Lane is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Barbara focuses on practical conversation and steady problem-solving. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and identify small, manageable steps forward. She emphasizes honest feedback and straightforward strategies rather than abstract theory.

Clients often bring worries about panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation, or struggles with impulsivity. Barbara works with these concerns by breaking them down into patterns and habits that can be changed over time. She also supports people facing midlife questions and shifts in priorities.

Her approach includes attending to emotions and behavior that keep problems going. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice different responses, and try new ways of coping. Conversations tend to focus on immediate challenges and realistic next steps.

Barbara accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. She notes that beginning therapy can feel difficult, and she encourages those ready to explore change to take that first step.

How evidence-based techniques are used online

Barbara describes her work as practical and focused on changing patterns that keep problems going. Two evidence-based techniques often used in that kind of work are cognitive approaches and behavior-focused strategies. Cognitive methods look at unhelpful thinking and teach ways to test and change those thoughts, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Behavior-focused strategies break larger problems into specific actions and experiments to practice different responses, helpful for panic, avoidance, and impulsivity.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That process includes checking what helps, adjusting strategies, and deciding on homework or practice between sessions.

The biography does not list session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, fit sessions into a workday, or avoid travel time. It can also allow steady progress when in-person meetings are difficult, while the therapist and client decide together how often to meet and which tools to use for practice.
