About Philicia
LMHC, LPC in Pennsylvania with 10 years' experience, Philicia Barbieri focuses on addiction recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness tools to help people manage symptoms and make changes. Sessions include work on coping skills, emotional processing, and goal-focused steps.
Philicia has worked in crisis counseling, community settings, and group therapy since 2013. That background informs a straightforward style that combines one-on-one talk therapy with skill practice. She describes her core view as existential, which means she helps people name what matters and make choices that reflect their values.
EMDR is part of her toolkit for trauma and abuse; she uses it alongside mindfulness practices and breathing exercises to help people process experiences that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical alternatives. Motivational Interviewing supports changes in addictive behaviors and other habits by clarifying a person’s own reasons for change.
She also brings experience supporting people with chronic pain, chronic illness, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and grief. Work can include managing symptoms, addressing relationship or intimacy issues, and planning next steps in career or life decisions. Philicia notes that yoga and meditation techniques sometimes appear in sessions as grounding tools.
Sessions are described as collaborative and goal-oriented. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Philicia offers services in English and accepts international clients.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
EMDR helps people process traumatic memories by pairing guided attention with focused recall. In practice it can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and make them easier to talk about, which is useful for trauma, abuse, and some anxiety concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often involves short exercises and homework to change patterns that keep symptoms like depression or panic going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation; it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, and coping with chronic pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose or combine methods based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That conversation may start in the first session and shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not specify which session delivery methods are offered, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use these options to help people continue care across locations and schedules.
