About Dale
Dale Barrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, career problems, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Dale uses straightforward, goal-focused work to help people notice what keeps them stuck. She starts by helping clients identify how and why they feel out of control. Then she supports them in naming clear goals and practical steps to move toward those goals.
Her background includes long experience across mood disorders, trauma, grief, forgiveness work, psychosis, life transitions, and addiction. She holds licensure as LPC in Wisconsin, LCPC in Illinois, and LPC-S in Texas. Those credentials are used to guide clinical decisions and practice settings.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches when helpful. Therapy focuses on simple, repeatable strategies clients can try between sessions.
Dale frames the work as collaborative. She helps people track small changes and adjust plans when needed. For many people this looks like regular skill practice, short experiments to test new responses, and clear reviews of progress over time.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Online sessions with Dale draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior and then trying specific, practical changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. ACT helps people notice what matters most to them, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on the individual’s goals, life situation, and how they respond to initial techniques. Plans get adjusted as progress and new needs appear.
