About Barbara

Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship and workplace difficulties, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

She frames counseling around what the client wants to see change. In early sessions she asks what will be different when therapy is working, then helps set clear, realistic goals. Sessions are client-centered and collaborative; she follows the client's lead while offering guidance when needed.

Barbara's background includes work in intensive outpatient settings and school counseling, plus experience providing in-home support. She has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, addiction recovery challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and the stresses caregivers face. Her practice also addresses young adult issues, life purpose, money and financial concerns, and panic attacks.

Her therapeutic toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She mixes approaches to match each person's needs instead of following a single method.

Barbara describes a faith-informed collaborative style and emphasizes using session time efficiently. She aims to respect each person's values and time commitments while working toward meaningful change.

She practices in Louisiana and offers services in English. International clients are accepted; confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify personal values and take small steps toward them, which can be useful for stress, life changes, and purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing thought and behavior patterns to ease anxiety and depression symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on the concerns, goals, and what feels most helpful. Sessions may change over time as priorities shift.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can keep therapy during work or family routines. Talk with the therapist about schedule preferences and what type of session length or rhythm would work best.
