Barbara Mey, LMHC

Barbara Mey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience based in Rhode Island. She works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, relationships, depression, addiction, grief, and self-esteem. Barbara also supports people facing ADHD, career concerns, and major life changes.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice she blends these approaches to help people learn practical coping skills. Sessions often focus on clearer thinking, adjusting unhelpful habits, and small steps toward goals.

Barbara trained at Providence College and completed an advanced graduate certificate at Salve Regina University. Earlier work included nearly a decade in community mental health and more recent practice at a substance abuse clinic. That background means she has experience with mood and anxiety difficulties, trauma recovery, substance use concerns, and complex family situations.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She helps clients identify specific problems, test small changes, and notice what works in daily life. For people dealing with leaving home, starting work, or feeling behind their peers, she focuses on concrete strategies to manage stress and build steadier routines.

People who prefer clear steps and evidence-based methods may find her approach useful. Her work supports adults navigating relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and the practical challenges of early adulthood.
