About Barbara
Barbara Barr, LCPC and LMHC, is licensed in Maine as an LCPC and in Florida as an LMHC. She has three years of professional experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work.
Barbara works in straightforward, person-focused ways. She listens and talks through immediate problems. She helps clients identify patterns, manage strong emotions, and practice new behaviors between sessions. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer ways to cope with daily challenges.
Her background includes attention to both mood and relational concerns. She helps people dealing with grief, parenting stress, body image and eating issues, substance use and codependency, and problems tied to attachment or blended family dynamics. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and the fallout from abandonment or adoption-related concerns.
Barbara combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with emotion-focused work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and on DBT and CBT skills for emotional regulation and thought work. Client-centered elements shape how she listens and responds.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and respect for the client's perspective. It focuses on understanding feelings and building a trusting working relationship to support problem solving and personal insight.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, eating issues, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can include skill practice, values clarification, or emotion-focused discussion depending on what the client and therapist agree will help.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from schedules. The therapist and client will discuss practical arrangements and how to structure sessions to match everyday life.
