About Barbara

Background and approach

She brings long-standing practice helping individuals and families navigate relationship challenges, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, and a broad range of family-related issues. Her background includes focused training in marriage, couples, and family counseling and family mediation, and she maintains ongoing professional development through courses and workshops to keep skills current.

Dr. Brady uses a supportive, nonjudgmental style that helps clients move from problem-focused thinking toward practical solutions and achievable goals.

Her work commonly addresses career planning, communication and conflict resolution, anger management, trauma and abuse, eating and self-esteem concerns, and matters related to adoption and blended family dynamics.

Clients seeking a counselor who emphasizes collaboration and goal-oriented progress will find a practitioner who values individualized treatment plans. She encourages the courage it takes to begin change and partners with clients to build steady momentum toward healthier relationships and greater personal fulfillment.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work



Dr. Brady commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral challenges. CBT in this context focuses on clear goals, structured exercises, and skills practice that translate well to remote sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach helps clients build self-awareness and clarify values, making it useful for relationship issues, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Dr. Brady works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques accordingly so the work feels personally relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with her can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats allow for regular check-ins, homework review, and skills coaching without the need to travel, which can make it easier to maintain momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
