More about Barbara
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
Hello! I am a License Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I am also a Veteran of the United States Air Force. I spent the past four years working in an inpatient program for men coming out of prison and into community corrections. It has taught me about the will and drive to overcome addictions and family history/traumas. The men I worked with inspired me everyday.
My approach to counseling is person centered. You are in charge of what you want to work on. I am an expert of the process of change, but not on you. When we challenge our thoughts, our behavior and actions will change. This is usually the way I would challenge someone who would like to change whatever is causing them discomfort.
I don't give advice as that is not what therapists do. I work with you and help guide you to a better understanding of your issue and then we work together to find a plan to fix the discomfort you were experiencing.
I look forward to having the chance to work with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Barbara is a very understanding, down to earth person who makes you feel unjudged during difficult conversation.
Very nice, listens attentively and provides good solutions
I set my journal entries to share with Barbara and she always responds timely. I look forward to my sessions with her as I need help coping with some issues regarding my wife's illness.
Barbara is amazing. She has helped me so much and I have been to able see so much personal growth. She is always timely and professional and is so nice to talk to.
Barbara is a good listener and patient in understanding.
I very much enjoy the way Barbara keeps in touch and really listens to me on a deeper level.
I think Barbara is wonderful. She is thoughtful and caring. I have an issue with Better Help in that I cannot get a receipt for services rendered that I can submit to my insurance company. Is anybody listening out there? I am ready to get regulators involved. Someone please contact me at [email protected].
Barbara has been amazing. She gives great suggestions and I always feel heard during our sessions.
I found Barbara after experiencing a less than ideal session with another therapist. Upon meeting Barbara, I knew immediately that she was a much better fit for me. She is full of patience, compassion, and genuine concern in regards to my needs. She listened to and guided me with the type of communication and feedback that was helpful and refreshing. I am excited to start my healing journey with Barbara and I'm looking forward to a future of peace.
So kind and helpful. Really listens and a large help
Barbara has been a wise and emotionally supportive counselor during this difficult time in my life and marriage.
Barbara is very professional. Yes you have given me many ideals that I will use for the rest of my life. I wish I had spoken with someone like Barbara a while back ago, I really believe everything else would be much better.
The best!!!
Only had a few sessions with her but so far a good experience
Barbara is super helpful and listens to what I have to say. Instead of pushing for answers or context she really lets me say what I want and feel and gives me way to help me with certain things we discuss.
Barbara's approach to therapy is what i've been missing for the whole pandemic. She is thorough and patient. I love Barb, and am in a better place than when we started!w
I love Barbara
Barbara is a very down-to-earth and personable counselor while also maintaining strong professionalism. This combination makes it easier to relate to her, leaving you feeling very comfortable.
Barbara is a great listener and asks questions that help me question my own old, tired 'stories' that I tell myself. She has helped me look to the future and appreciate the present instead of wallowing in the past. She has assisted me in appreciating my small successes along my bumpy road of recovery from addiction.
Barbara provides a safe place and shows a genuine interest in you. Although we don’t meet often she has a great recall on things we have talked about in previous sessions.
I love Barbara. Easy to talk to, very genuine and is clear on guidance. She centers everything back to you and how you’re feeling.
Barb is so easy to talk to and very kind. She has been responsive and helped me through some rough weeks. Thank you, Barb.
Such a great first session with Barb!
Wonderfully kind and easy to talk to. Had some great practical advice for my girlfriend and I to try. Really appreciated our conversation together. Thank you Barbara!
Barbara has been very easy to talk to. She has responded to our sessions in a timely manner with suggestions and worksheets with possible solutions to help me. She is very friendly and polite.
She offers a safe space
