About Barbara
Barbara George is a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She brings a calm, direct style and aims to help people regain balance when stress, grief, or life changes feel overwhelming. She has 12 years of clinical experience in medical and behavioral health settings.
That includes work in hospital emergency rooms, medical floors, and inpatient behavioral health units. She also co-facilitated grief support groups for ten years for people coping with the death of a loved one.
Background and approach
Barbara uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She emphasizes client-centered conversation so the person sets the goals. Then she offers practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address patterns of thinking and daily routines.
Her practice also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas and solution-focused work to help people move toward meaningful action. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small changes that add up over time. This can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, parenting strain, relationship or family issues, and coping with major transitions.
Barbara describes her role as a collaborator who listens and helps remove barriers to progress. She works with each person to build manageable plans and realistic skills that fit their life and responsibilities.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Barbara often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that fit well into video or text-based formats and can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.She also uses client-centered therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the agenda. This approach supports collaborative goal setting and works well across video, phone, or chat because it centers the person's priorities first.
Finding the right approach is a process. Barbara will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts tools or focus areas to fit changing needs and day-to-day life.
Online appointments are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a quieter option and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments while still allowing consistent therapeutic work.
