Barbara Dern, LPC

My clients describe me as:

When working with me, my goal is for clients to feel safe. I want to provide a safe environment where each of my clients is free to be uniquely them

Something to know about my approach is:

I utilize emotionally focused therapy and cognitive based therapies to provide a holistic approach in helping individuals navigate their emotions and thoughts, foster self-awareness, promote emotional regulation, and enhance cognitive restructuring.

Together, we will:

... identify patterns, challenge negative thinking, and develop coping strategies for personal growth and positive change. We will explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, aiming to develop healthier ways of relating to oneself and others.

I specialize in working with people who:

... are seeking to overcome obstacles including depression, anxiety, and trauma by increasing their emotional awareness, and building secure attachments; promoting emotional healing and growth.

I became a therapist because:

As a mom, I was able to see the significant impact my daughter’s counselor had in her life. I wanted to be able to do the same for others.

More about me and my practice:

In order to increase access to mental health care, I offer counseling services strictly online. This allows me to provide you more flexibility to meet your needs.
