Great therapist. Really helped me to sort through my issue and strategize a path forward. I came in frustrated and distraught and left sober minded and empowered. Many thanks to Barbara for getting me through a very rough patch.

Hello there, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of NC.
As a helping professional for more than 20 years, my experience is quite diverse and comprehensive. In the field of mental health and wellness, I have functioned in the capacity of Mentor, Educator, Foster/Adoptive Parent and Counselor. I have coached individuals on living, social skills, how to effectively resolve problems and interact with the community as a whole. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Life experiences often disrupt our sense of wholeness, leaving us feeling unable to find our way back to ourselves. When this happens, our lives and our relationships can become difficult, or even unbearable. Our work together is one of helping you to reunite with that core wisdom within yourself, so you can experience more love, connection and happiness that is innately yours. Together we will develop a deep knowing of who you are and what you stand for. Working together, we will identify and shift patterns that are blocking you from fully experiencing and living a life worth living.
As a highly compassionate, empathetic, patient, respectful and committed individual, I understands it takes courage and time in taking those steps towards this type change. So, if you are ready to take that first step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great therapist. Really helped me to sort through my issue and strategize a path forward. I came in frustrated and distraught and left sober minded and empowered. Many thanks to Barbara for getting me through a very rough patch.
Barbara listened well and offered up her own experiences which made me feel less alone when dealing with difficult issues.
Barbara is a great listener and offers great insight. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Very warm, insightful and caring. It feels like talking to a mother that I never had.
Barb is one of the most amazing people I know. I have been to therapy multiple times in my life. This experience has been the best by far. Barb checks in with me just to see how I am doing. The compassion she has for other people is just exceptional. I would recommend Barb to anyone.
I think you are awesome I am just trying to get comfortable with everything
I love to talk to my therapist. I feel a calm and healing when she validated my feelings and teaches me to work thru situations
She's the best
I am so satisfied with this method of getting the help I need. Barbara came to know and understand me and is helping me to open my eyes, see who I really am. Barbara 's skills allow me to sit at my desk. where she can help me with how to work within myself so I can chill and not be so anxious. I love that we have the option to communicate in a way that best works for the person needing treatment. I love being able to be in my home, see Barbara, and sitting at my desk. I love that I can take her in vacation with me. Because of Barbara, her skills and caring, I'm happy that I reached out. I am taking more positive steps which is helping me to heal. Lynn M. Wheeler
Barbara is the best. Patient, understanding, and let's you know what you need to work on without coming off judgmental.
She is very in tune with her clients and she is a phenomenal human being. I thank God for her in my life during this season of my life. To help me navigate and process the various emotions that come along with it.
Words cannot express the amount of growth I’ve had in my mental health journey thanks to Barbara. I see her work in me and she sees me doing the work.

Barbara is kind and professional. She provides opportunities for self-reflection and genuine words of support and encouragement. She communicates clearly, and I recommend her services for anyone who is experiencing depression.
Barbara has been a great addition to my life. She listens to me and responds to my concerns. She makes a point to pass information and articles to me as supplements between sessions, which I truly appreciate. She doesn’t rush me in sessions and not only encourages my positive changes and outlooks but notes and expresses my need to address negatives as well. I’m very happy with Barbara. Thank you Barabara for being there for me.
Barbara is GREAT! She is everything I’ve ever wanted in a counselor. She listens to me and gives great advice. I’ve felt comfortable talking to her since day 1. I would definitely recommend her.

Barbara is kind, sensitive and very insightful. Even after a short time working with her, I'm feeling encouraged about my problems because I believe she can help support me as I work on some things.
Barbara takes the time and patience to listen to me, no matter how loud or quickly I speak. She remembers all the things I've communicated with her. I'm grateful to her for always treating me with respect and compassion.
Amazing! Intuitive and compassionate! Really listens and hears what I’m saying.
Barbara has been extremely insightful and helpful. We had a great connection from our very first session. I feel empowered and for the first time in a very long time I feel like I am making progress. Thank you, Barbara!!
