About Barbara

Dr. Barbara Brady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 25 years of counseling experience, bringing decades of practice to work with adolescents, families, young adults and couples. She also holds a post-masters certification in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling, which reflects specialized training in relationship and family systems, and has completed Basic Family Mediation certification training to support constructive conflict resolution. She maintains a lifelong commitment to learning through continuing education, workshops, and other professional training to keep her skills current and effective.

Her clinical work covers a broad range of concerns, including career planning, relationship improvement, stress and anxiety reduction, grief and loss, gender identity-related matters, child custody and parenting issues, conflict resolution, anger management and domestic violence. She approaches therapy in a supportive, non-judgmental manner, helping individuals and families move from problem-focused thinking toward practical, solution-focused steps. She assists clients in setting clear goals, identifying barriers, and taking actionable steps to achieve greater satisfaction and well-being.

Dr. Brady aims to match each person with a therapeutic process that suits their needs, personality and presenting issues. She emphasizes collaboration, helping people recognize patterns that impede progress and develop strategies to regain control over their lives. She celebrates the courage it takes to seek change and views the initial step toward therapy as an important milestone. She looks forward to working with individuals and families as they begin that journey.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and emphasizes empathy, respect and collaborative goal-setting. It helps people build self-awareness and confidence while exploring personal values and choices, often supporting work on relationships, self-esteem and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management and many everyday challenges because it produces clear strategies clients can practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness and reducing self-destructive patterns. It can be especially helpful for people working on emotion regulation, anger, and relationship stability.

The search for the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Dr. Brady works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals will tailor techniques over time to find the most effective path forward.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for those balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, access care from home or while traveling, and continue consistent progress even when in-person visits are not feasible. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework to online formats so treatment remains practical and goal-oriented.
