Background and approach
Barborita aims to make sessions clear and useful rather than confusing or vague. She often uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to what each person says matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas guide work on unhelpful thoughts and actions.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce stress and increase focus in daily life. Barborita also brings motivational interviewing strategies when people face ambivalence about change, such as with substance use or lifestyle shifts. These tools are offered collaboratively and at a pace the person is comfortable with.
People who prefer a straightforward, compassionate counselor will find her direct but gentle style easy to follow. She practices in Tennessee as an LPC and works with adults seeking clearer ways to manage emotions, build new habits, and handle difficult life events.
Online approaches that fit your life
Barborita often combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people address immediate concerns and build lasting habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what you say matters most so sessions reflect your priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering concrete tools to change day-to-day patterns and reduce symptoms.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will work with you to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match methods to your needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or step-by-step homework reminders. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
