More about Barbara

Hello and congratulations on taking the first step to a better you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, hoarding and combat related PTSD. I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, as many times clients will self-medicate in order to seek relief. I have worked with clients in all walks of life, to include couples, single parents, military/veterans and those with present and past legal issues. I am also a military veteran and can relate to many challenges our military face while serving our country.

My therapy style is eclectic as it allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect and I believe in meeting my clients where they are and will not rush the process.

Again, I applaud you for taking the first step to self-care. I look forward to taking the journey with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Barbara is very resourceful and kind. She is an active listener and very experienced. She's very attentive and checks on her clients. Honestly she's a blessing. Worst part of my life and I've never done counseling but she's helped me regain some hope and I really appreciate a little light in this tunnel even if it's brief some days. I hope whoever is reading this remembers it's a bad day, not a bad life. Keep working towards finding your hope too

She listens to and is understanding. When something is difficult are hard for me she doesn't push me. We have only just started therapy and I am already feeling safe. It is very hard for me to open up but I know I have to in order to heal and I already feel safer with her then I have with other therapist i have worked with. My instinct is to run away, quit after I share to much but she allowed me to take a step back and breath which allowed me to not quit. I am very grateful for this.
