Barbara is an incredible therapist. I was drawn to her initially because she has a chronic illness, like me. It's so nice to find someone that understands. She has been with me through some very difficult times and made an emergency video call for me once in a crisis. I love being able to message her and get my thoughts out when they are fresh. She is so kind and compassionate and has so much experience. One of my favorite things is the meditation audios she makes! She has made me personalized affirmations and sleep meditations and I love them so much!!! She also is skilled in working through trauma. So so thankful to have had her help and support this past year and look forward to working with her this next year!

I am in Central Standard Time (CST) and sessions are during evening and late night hours. If you do not see any openings that work for you, please let me know and I will see if I can do.
A top priority for me is to meet you are and calibrate treatment and my approach to what will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals. Whether you are working towards enlightenment and insight or symptom-relief and improved function, my hope is that we can collaboratively work together to achieve it!
What might you take away from sessions in general?
*People have reported to me:
feeling understood
feeling heard
more relaxed
more optimistic / less negative
starting to feel able to try and do things
learned new skills
able to sleep or fall asleep easier
feeling 'better'

believing in self more
motivated to work toward goals
feeling less emotionally heavy
****Tools and Treatment methods I utilize*****
I take a holistic approach and work with you, where you are at the moment. Each session is based on where you are, not on a scheduled structure.
**If you are looking for highly structured session or many worksheets, I may not be a good fit for you. I will give assignments; however generally, few if any worksheets unless you request them. **
Together we will set up goals for your personal needs and wants.
I use Evidence-Based models. My main approach to healing is Person-Centered. I also utilize techniques from: CBT, CT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Mindfulness, Meditation, Visualization, EFT, Gestalt, and others.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Barbara is amazing! She's extremely respectful and supportive, and she's good at getting you to dig deep. Very non-judgemental. I highly recommend Barbara!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Barbara and I can confidently say that they have been an invaluable resource in my personal growth and healing journey. From the very first session, Barbara has demonstrated a deep understanding of my struggles with self-worth, self-doubt, and boundary-setting in relationships, and has helped me to see these issues in a new and more empowering light. One of the things that has impressed me the most about Barbara is their ability to reframe my negative thoughts and help me see things from a different perspective. They have a real talent for helping me identify and challenge my limiting beliefs, and have provided me with the tools and support I need to build more positive and healthy relationships with myself and others. In addition to their exceptional skills as a therapist, Barbara is also an incredibly warm and compassionate person. They have a way of making me feel truly heard and understood, which has been invaluable in my journey towards healing and self-improvement. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone seeking support and guidance in working through issues related to self-worth, self-doubt, relationships, boundaries, and resentment. They have made a profound impact on my well-being, and I am incredibly grateful for the work we have done together.
Barbara is absolutely wonderful. She is so easy to talk too. Her heart for people just shines through to me.
Barbara is an exceptional therapist. She listens, is kind, and always knows exactly what to say. She uses a holistic approach with her clients, and get's to the core root of what you're dealing with. For anyone interested, she also provides incredible breathing exercises, which I've found extremely helpful in times of anxiety or stress. I don't often leave reviews, but she has honestly changed my life for better - and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Barbara!
Barbara has become an essential part of my recovery. Her expertise and the way she relates to me are key in helping me open up. I am grateful to have found BetterHelp and Barbara Parry.
Barbara is great. Very compassionate and understanding and is able to make the 10,000 things going on in your head come to a stop and make sense. You can laugh and have fun while also being serious and digging deep into how you feel the way you feel. Feels like you’re drinking coffee with an old friend instead of sitting down with a doctor.
Barbara’s a great therapist. Listens to you and provides feedback with no judgement. Very laid back style really allows you to open up.
Barbara was excellent in our first meeting, provided no judgment, and went out of her way to provide me with extra measures of help which she saw I currently needed. I was very happy with my meeting with her and she conveys a very positive attitude and obvious level of caring.
She a really good listener and she helps me see things in a new light.
Barbara is a very good listener and honestly did help me a lot , thanks Barbara !
It has been more than a month that I started my session with Barbara and she surely has helped me be better and feel like myself more. Her experiences and expertise, her bubbly nature has helped me to be open with her and she responds asap to any of the concerns I have. Her advices and the worksheets have encouraged me to look beneath myself and realize what’s important and how I should process my feelings and my thoughts. Looking forward to get better ❤️
I love her, she works on developing a relationship with you while working with you as a therapist, it helps the messages stick more since it feels like it’s coming from a friend
