About Barbara

Barbara Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience based in Delaware. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ-related concerns. She also addresses mood conditions such as depression and bipolar symptoms, along with sleep problems, anger, and intimacy-related issues.

Barbara uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage difficult feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build practical coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when past events are contributing to current distress.

In sessions she works with people facing grief, compassion fatigue, panic attacks, and codependency. She also supports those navigating gender dysphoria, questions about sexuality, and issues linked to military or veteran experiences. Her practice includes work on co-morbidity where multiple concerns overlap.

Barbara aims to help clients develop tools for everyday life, such as strategies for anxiety, sleep, and managing anger. She helps people talk through relationship and intimacy-related worries and to set realistic steps for change. Language of therapy is English and she does not accept international clients.

Clients who want to start are asked to use the site flow to select online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Barbara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical strategies, such as breaking problems into small steps and testing different coping ideas. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach attention and breathing exercises that reduce stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past events are affecting current functioning; this approach centers on addressing traumatic memories and their effects in a gradual way. Barbara will work with each person to figure out which combination of these methods fits their needs. Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.

The site’s workflow asks you to select online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
