About Dale
Dale Barrett, LPC, LCPC, is licensed in Wisconsin and has 30 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to mood and life changes. Her approach blends practical skills with client-centered collaboration to help people name what feels out of control and decide what they want instead.
Dale begins by helping people identify how their life feels unsteady and then looks at the reasons behind those feelings. She uses straightforward conversations and measurable steps to set goals. Sessions focus on what to try next and how to notice small changes.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and client-centered work. That mix lets her teach coping skills, address unhelpful thinking, and explore relationship patterns that contribute to stress. She also uses mindfulness techniques to support emotion regulation.
Dale has worked with a wide range of concerns over three decades, including bipolar and other mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and traumatic brain injury. She also helps people navigate divorce and midlife transitions and the practical struggles that follow major life events.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. The emphasis is on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and values they want to act on. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and some mood patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current stress and closeness; it can help with anger, relationship strain, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day and reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice between sessions, written exercises, or telephone check-ins when a quick follow-up helps keep momentum. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote sessions to focus on practical steps and skills that fit everyday life.
