How her approaches translate to online work
Barbara integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior, break those patterns, and try practical experiments between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and building new daily habits.She also works client-centered, which means sessions follow what the person brings and focus on their priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult; it helps clarify reasons for change and builds small steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods best match goals, preferences, and what is happening in life. That decision can shift as progress is reviewed.
