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 excellent. Highly recommend her.
Barbara has been a great resource and therapist for me in my time of need. She has been very supportive and listened to me. She has made me feel comfortable and willing to open up with some traumas. I am excited to keep delving in with her and see the improvement in my life.
Barbara is extremely helpful. She offers me support & things to consider. She has opened my eyes in ways that just talking with a friend hasn’t. The assignments she has me do weekly are very helpful. I highly recommend Barbara.
I have had 3 sessions with Barbara and it has been eye opening. She's caring, understanding, encouraging, yet firm in guiding me thru my sessions. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with her.
My therapist is amazing, I feel like she’s family!!
She is so sweet! I genuinely see how much she loves her job and cares about helping others. I am so happy I found her after months of searching. She fits all my needs!
She’s sensitive, and a great listener. She’s very caring and she feels like family now.
Very attentive listens to my concerns and help me find solutions for my problems
Barbara is kind and compassionate, she is also a tremendous asset to Better Help. I have learned so much about myself with Barbara s help. She is wonderful and I’ll never forget her. Thank you Barbara!
Barbara is a very kind person and an empathetic listener. I'm truly lucky to have found her on my very first time with better help.
The match is what I needed at this time. The tools provided are assisting me with coping at the time I need it most.
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 is wonderful, she’s extremely caring very down to earth and easy to talk to. And so far from what I can tell she seems very genuine.
Great experience
I enjoyed speaking with Ms Barbara. She really did help me. She told me what I already knew I just needed to hear it from someone outside my circle. I really appreciate the advice and the understanding. Thank you Ms Barbara.
I am so grateful that I was matched with Barbara as a therapist. She is a great listener and has helped me gain insight into my issues, which has translated into a greater sense of calm and peace. Through our sessions she has also helped me set boundaries which has been helpful. :)
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.
We connected from the first meeting. She is pleasant, thoughtful and reassuring. She listens to my concerns and reassured and encouraged me. She always provides exercises to provides suggestions and exercises to support me. I absolutely love her and would recommend her.
You are doing an amazing job
