About Krista
Dr. Krista Barbera is a New Jersey psychologist with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related struggles. She combines practical techniques and clear discussion to help people manage everyday problems and bigger setbacks.
Dr. Barbera frames her work around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using it to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She draws on insights from other approaches when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions typically focus on specific skills, clear goals, and steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes work in academic, correctional, community, business, and private practice settings. She has experience with adults and adolescents, and now concentrates on adult individual therapy while addressing relationship, family, and parenting issues within that context. Her perspective is informed by her roles outside clinical work, including teaching and community involvement.

Her sessions emphasize clear steps, measurable progress, and collaborative planning. She asks about goals early and suggests practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

How CBT and focused approaches are used in remote sessions
Dr. Barbera uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts with small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to change patterns over time.She also integrates practical techniques from complementary approaches when they fit a person’s goals. These additions are used to support skills building, emotion regulation, or problem solving in everyday life rather than to replace the core CBT work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches that match those needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are involved in setting measurable steps and suggested between-session practice.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Remote work can also let sessions focus on real-life problems as they come up in daily routines, making practical skills easier to practice between appointments.
