Dr. Dr. Barbara Humbles , LPC, LMFT

Dr. Dr. Barbara Humbles is a licensed counselor in Louisiana with 35 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and the LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - which reflect training in general counseling and specialized work with couples and family systems. Over her career she has helped people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family conflicts, cope with grief and loss, and address intimacy-related concerns.

Her practice also includes work with military families facing challenges related to active duty and retirement, and she attends to a broad range of issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, depression, and compassion fatigue. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings and begin to develop practical coping strategies. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and she acknowledges and supports that decision as an important part of the healing process.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety, then building alternative strategies to respond more effectively. These approaches are useful for symptoms like persistent worry, trouble sleeping, and difficulties managing strong emotions.

She also employs skills-oriented methods that teach communication, coping, and emotional regulation strategies to improve relationships and family dynamics. These practical skills can help couples and blended families address conflicts, improve intimacy, and manage caregiver or career-related stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and reach clients who live in different locations. These formats offer flexibility for ongoing work with therapists and licensed professionals while supporting consistent engagement in treatment.
