About Barbara
Barbara creates a calm space for people to talk about what matters to them. She aims for conversations without judgment so feelings and thoughts can be shared openly. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.
Her background includes work with mood disorders and long-term stress, and she has experience addressing caregiver strain and chronic illness. She also has experience with substance use concerns, family of origin and communication problems, and multicultural issues that affect daily life.
As a Louisiana licensed psychologist (LA Psychologist 1034), she brings long-term clinical experience to routine struggles and urgent problems alike. Her approach combines clear communication with attention to each person’s goals. People are invited to set the pace and direct what they want to work on.
Barbara offers sessions in English and is open to international clients. She recognizes the courage it takes to start therapy and works to make scheduling and the first visits straightforward and respectful.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on learning skills and changing patterns. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce worry and low mood. This helps people who struggle with anxiety or depression by teaching practical ways to notice and shift thinking that keeps symptoms going.Another approach centers on skill building for managing strong emotions like anger and stress. It teaches simple steps for calming the body, pausing before reacting, and practicing new ways to handle conflict or pressure. These skills are useful for everyday family stress, first responder strain, caregiver fatigue, and health-related stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adapt methods so sessions fit the client’s needs and pace.

Licensed professionals can tailor sessions to work around schedules and practical constraints so therapy can fit real life.
