About Barbara
Barbara Barr is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (ME LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with three years of experience listed on this profile. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and challenges faced by LGBT clients and parents.
She approaches sessions in a client-centered way and uses several practical methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In conversation she looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people identify steps they can try between sessions.
Barbara often helps with common young adult concerns such as coping with life changes, relationship problems, self-esteem, and pressures around work, school, or moving out. She also works with issues that can overlap with those stages, like substance use, body image, and family conflict. Sessions are offered in English and Barbara is based in Florida.
Her stated emphasis is on listening and on helping people understand their reactions and options. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location. To begin the process a person is asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the online matching flow so expectations about formats and times are clear.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions flow
Barbara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in straightforward ways. ACT focuses on noticing what matters to you and taking values-based steps even when feelings are hard. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practices alternative ways of responding to unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which emphasize listening, reflection, and collaboration. Together the client and therapist decide which approach or combination fits the current goals and practical needs. Finding the right method is part of the work and she will help choose approaches based on what a person wants to address.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which online options are available when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a work or school day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy schedule. If you prefer a certain format, check the matching questionnaire and scheduling pages to confirm what she is offering before you book.
