About Barbara
Barbara Carroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Barbara also pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, dissociation, and family of origin struggles.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear skills, concrete steps, and understanding how painful patterns began and are maintained.
Barbara treats trauma and related difficulties by combining talking work with strategies that affect the body and emotions. For people managing grief or anger, she helps identify triggers and build healthier responses. For anxiety and depression, she works on immediate coping skills and gradual behavior change.
She treats issues tied to adoption, foster care, and family of origin by helping people name the impact of their history and make decisions that fit their current life. When dissociation or intense emotional swings are present, sessions prioritize safety and stabilizing skills before deeper processing.
Her style is collaborative and focused on concrete change. Clients who want clear tools and practical steps to manage daily life find this approach useful. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site's booking steps to match and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How Barbara uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Barbara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior with practical exercises that reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR involves guided processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and help reorganize painful memories.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. DBT skills help with strong emotions and relationship patterns, while mindfulness supports noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a lunch break, or not needing to travel can save time. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching steps so sessions align with daily responsibilities and treatment goals.
