She brings a direct, compassionate style to therapy, combining practical strategies with an approachable manner that includes a sense of humor to help clients learn from setbacks and move forward.

In clinical practice she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and she integrates mindfulness techniques to help clients build awareness and manage symptoms in the moment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Barbara Dunn

Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety and depression, then works with them to develop practical skills to change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy provides brief, goal-oriented work that helps clients clarify desired outcomes and take concrete steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barbara collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or remote locations. These formats allow clients to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
