About Barbara
Barbara Barr is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings her counseling work into sessions with a calm, approachable style and focuses on helping people navigate common struggles. Barbara explains things plainly and aims to make each person feel heard and respected.
Barbara works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting stress, and codependency among others. She uses everyday language to help clients name problems and find practical ways to handle them. Sessions emphasize understanding feelings and building skills to respond differently in stressful moments.
Her approach blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward meaningful action, and client-centered listening to shape sessions around what matters to the client. Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas also appear where they help people feel more grounded.
Barbara has professional licenses listed as ME LCPC and FL LMHC and reports three years of experience in the context provided. She notes that online video sessions are part of her practice and that scheduling is arranged with morning and early afternoon options.

To start, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Barbara aims to work at a pace that suits each person and to support practical change over time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways clients can use during online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how people feel, which works well in short exercises and homework tasks. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, often with mindfulness and practical action plans.Finding the best approach happens together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and doable for daily life.
The profile notes live video sessions as part of the practice, but it is best to confirm which session options are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make fitting appointments into a busy schedule easier and can reduce travel time. Video work also makes it simple to share exercises, practice skills in the moment, and plan homework that fits into everyday routines.
