About Barbara

Barbara Parker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with nine years of clinical experience. A United States Air Force veteran, she brings a strong work ethic and practical perspective to counseling, particularly when supporting people through addiction, trauma, and complex life transitions. For four years she worked in an inpatient program serving men transitioning from prison into community corrections, an experience that deepened her appreciation for the determination required to overcome substance use and intergenerational trauma.

Her work is rooted in a client-centered approach that places each person in charge of what they want to address in therapy. As an LPC, she guides the process of change rather than prescribing solutions, helping clients explore how thoughts influence behavior and collaboratively developing plans to reduce discomfort. Barbara emphasizes practical strategies for shifting thinking and actions so clients can move toward their goals.

She has focused experience in areas such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Barbara aims to partner with individuals who are ready to engage in change and build meaningful, sustainable progress.

Approaches for remote care - ACT, Client-Centered, and CBT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-driven action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making meaningful changes when old patterns feel limiting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the goals and pace of work; this approach supports self-discovery and is often helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and life transition concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Barbara collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to the individual rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy provides flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage mobility or caregiving constraints, and maintain continuity of support. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver consistent, practical therapy that aligns with a client's life and preferences.
