Practical Therapy Tools, Built for Online Support

Barbara Walsh draws from established approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable responses to stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem struggles.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by life changes, or disconnected from a sense of purpose. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who want better ways to manage intense emotions and improve communication.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Barbara works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then tailors sessions to match the client’s needs over time.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules, travel, or changing energy levels, while still staying engaged in meaningful therapeutic work.
