About Barbara

Barbara Doll is an Ohio-licensed social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship friction, family conflict, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance to her work, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match each client's particular circumstances and goals.

Her background includes work with domestic abuse issues and a range of related concerns such as blended family dynamics, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, substance use, eating and food-related difficulties, hoarding, mood and panic disorders, social anxiety, and women's issues.

Barbara combines practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches, and she uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to support change. Clients can expect an individualized process in which the therapist and client collaborate to identify priorities and steps forward.

Barbara emphasizes adapting methods to meet unique needs and recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage, a step she affirms and supports throughout the work together.

Approach-Focused Online Care for Practical Change

Barbara uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, panic, and many stress-related issues. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, emphasizing understanding, empathy, and collaboration so that treatment reflects each person’s values and priorities. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor techniques from these methods to fit what will be most helpful. That collaborative planning helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These formats allow ongoing work from locations across Ohio and can support consistent momentum while accommodating varying schedules and communication styles.
