Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered work with evidence-informed tools. That means listening closely, then suggesting small, doable steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses skills for managing intense emotions and methods to process past painful memories when needed.
Barbie regularly helps with panic attacks, impulsivity, body image concerns, and feelings of abandonment or shame. She also addresses life transitions like divorce, midlife questions, and searching for purpose. Multicultural concerns and issues around narcissistic relationships are part of her practice.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that fit a variety of schedules. People who want to start fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them. Barbie aims to make therapy understandable and usable from the first visit.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting a person's own goals. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead while helping clarify what matters most and what small steps to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress and works well through video or phone sessions where homework and real-time coaching can be assigned.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can be practiced in sessions and reinforced through text or live chat between meetings when brief check-ins help maintain progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods that match the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth or multitasking is a concern, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or skill coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent work on anxiety, mood, and relationship goals.
