About Philicia
Philicia Barbieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She works in Pennsylvania and helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.
Barbieri uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused tools. Sessions often include steady breathing, simple grounding, and actions to test new ways of responding to old problems.
Her background includes crisis counseling, community-based work, and group therapy since 2013. That mix of experience informs how she supports people through recovery from substance use and through major life transitions. She also integrates mindfulness and meditation techniques from her work as a certified yoga instructor.
Philicia offers individual and relationship work and says she helps adults and couples who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance-related concerns. She aims for straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and steps clients can try between sessions.
She trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma symptoms and uses motivational interviewing to support behavior change. Her practice uses CBT methods for identifying thought patterns and building new habits.

How CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness are used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions using CBT focus on tracking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and building practical routines to reduce anxiety or improve mood.EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. In practice this may involve guided bilateral stimulation paired with focused recall to move stuck memories toward resolution.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through breathing and simple body awareness. These techniques help with emotional regulation, chronic pain, and reducing reactivity in stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then suggest CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix based on that conversation. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
