About Philicia
Philicia Barbieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She offers a calm, down-to-earth approach to help people manage stress and anxiety and other life challenges. She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address trauma, addiction, and mood concerns.
Sessions often include mindfulness and grounding practices, and she may suggest simple exercises to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes community-based work, crisis counseling, and group therapy. Those roles shaped a style that is flexible and focused on what helps in day-to-day life. Philicia aims to meet people where they are and help them set realistic goals.
She works with adults and couples on issues like depression, substance use concerns, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, codependency, panic attacks, and ADHD-related challenges. Philicia earned a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Carlow University in 2015.
She weaves mindfulness, meditation, and her experience as a certified yoga instructor into sessions when it fits the client’s needs. Outside of work she enjoys yoga, walks, and time at home with her husband and three dogs. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as options for ongoing support.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood struggles, and stress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process painful memories that feel stuck and reduce their emotional intensity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage overwhelm and build steady coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Philicia will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend methods that fit. That collaborative process may mix approaches over time so people get what helps most for their situation.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support on-the-go updates, brief coaching, and ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness in everyday moments.
