About Barbara

Barbara Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. Barbara believes each person knows their story best. She works alongside clients to find strengths and small changes that add up.

Sessions focus on skills for day-to-day coping and on making sense of painful experiences.

Background and approach

Her approach blends evidence-based tools and present-focused work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness tools are used to build calm and steady attention.

For trauma and deeper emotional wounds she incorporates EMDR and somatic ideas to help reduce intense reactions and disconnected feelings. Dialectical behavior methods are added when emotion regulation and strong reactions are central concerns. Barbara aims to make the process clear and manageable.

She helps people set small goals and practices to try between sessions. The tone in sessions is respectful and goal oriented, with an emphasis on what helps in daily life.

Online support

Online approaches for trauma, mood, and stress

Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so practical steps can reduce worry, low mood, and avoidance.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved coping during intense moments. DBT offers step-by-step practices to manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for people carrying strong traumatic memories. EMDR helps reduce the intensity of painful memories and the distress they cause during daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit their needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, brief coaching, or when scheduling flexibility is important.
