Barbara is the best therapist I've ever had - coming from not the best family of origin, this has been huge in my success and growth as an individual. She is compassionate, experienced, brilliant, and easy to talk to/be vulnerable with. Barbara always asks the right questions to help me process, grow and learn to better manage situations/myself. I appreciate that she also has mastered the art of knowing when I just need compassionate listening.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 33 years experience serving Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I specialize in helping adults dealing with Adjustment Disorders, Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Complex Trauma, Family Conflict, Mood Disorders and Self Esteem issues. I have a passion for working with individuals who have been affected by trauma. The therapeutic session is a collaborative, nonjudgmental sphere where you can become open to share and achieve positive thoughts, aspirations, healthy patterns, and a more peaceful existence. I offer a variety of approaches
I offer a variety of approaches to ensure an individualized therapeutic experience with use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindbody Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I am experienced with working with all age groups from 18 and up through adulthood.
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and accompanying them on their journey toward healing and growing. Among my interests are helping people with Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression , and Adjustment Disorder. I also have a trauma informed approach to therapy.

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.
