About Barbara

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 29 years of experience, Barbara Brown helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, and life changes. She works with individuals who are coping with compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and relationship concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Barbara draws from several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs.

Barbara has spent decades working across age groups and settings, including work with young adults and older adults, and with people facing hospice, end-of-life, or geriatric concerns. Her experience includes mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder. She frames clinical work around everyday problems - managing emotions, repairing communication, and making changes that feel doable.

Her practice centers on methods chosen to fit each person. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations around the person’s priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and work with strong feelings that affect relationships. She also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to shift attention and reframe personal stories.

In sessions she moves between supporting current coping and gently stretching comfort zones so people can try different ways of responding. Practical skills, emotion work, and telling one’s story all appear depending on what a person needs. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Barbara uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to the person. That approach means conversations are led by the client’s priorities and practical concerns are addressed first. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional patterns that affect relationships; it helps people name and work with strong feelings that come up in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That may include trying mindfulness practice, reframing personal stories, or focusing on emotion regulation in a few meetings to see what fits.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or a session without needing to travel. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to schedule appointments that better match a person’s routine.
