About Barbara
Barbara Carroll, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 10 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, dissociation, and family of origin problems.
Barbara works from the perspective that each person knows their own story. She aims to help people notice their strengths and use those strengths to move forward. She describes her role as a guide for finding answers that already exist within the client.
Her clinical methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. Sessions combine practical skills with reflective work. People who want concrete tools and clearer thinking about feelings may find this approach helpful.
Barbara has ten years of experience in clinical practice in Texas. Her background includes work with trauma and stress-related conditions as well as mood concerns and personality-related issues. She frames progress as small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.
The first meeting focuses on identifying immediate concerns and realistic next steps. Subsequent sessions emphasize skill building, symptom reduction, and strengthening coping strategies. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before scheduling a visit.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted at this time. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Barbara often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stress because it focuses on specific skills and small experiments.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another approach she uses for processing traumatic memories and reducing their intensity.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to maintain momentum between meetings. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Ask about specific scheduling and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
