About Barbara
Barbara Mutagamba is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with five years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and struggles around self-esteem and intimacy. She also helps with parenting concerns, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Barbara provides services in English and accepts international clients.
Barbara uses practical, skills-based steps to help people notice how thoughts and habits influence feelings and actions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear strategies such as identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and building replacement behaviors.
She often addresses issues that come from disrupted or painful relationships. That includes attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care topics, blended family issues, and family-of-origin patterns. Barbara also works on communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and the challenges of immigration and cultural adjustment.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when useful. She aims to reduce distressing symptoms and help people develop coping skills they can use day to day. Treatment plans are made with each person's goals and situation in mind.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Barbara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments. CBT focuses on concrete steps like tracking triggers, challenging beliefs, and practicing new responses to change mood and reactions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in some cases. ACT helps people clarify values and take committed actions even when difficult feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and past connection wounds are central; that work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and responses in current relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Barbara will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Decisions about which strategies to use are made together and can change as progress is made.
