About Barry
Over 30 years Barry has worked with military-connected people and others in the United States and overseas. He has long experience supporting people with post-traumatic stress, family and domestic violence, anxiety disorders, depression, anger, and major life changes. His work also covers addictions, bipolar concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Barry uses a range of therapeutic styles rather than a single method. He draws from client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on the person's needs. He adds cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.
He also integrates approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and motivational interviewing when those methods fit a person's goals. The aim is to build practical skills and reduce distress in daily life.
Sessions are presented as a collaborative process where the person and Barry decide on goals and steps together. He welcomes straightforward questions about how therapy would look and what to expect before committing to sessions.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people set goals that matter to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is a method often used for trauma-related memories. It aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories while teaching grounding and emotion regulation skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and may combine approaches over time.
For online therapy logistics, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and EMDR techniques to remote sessions when appropriate.
