About Barbara

Barbara Bosoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of clinical experience helping people navigate major life challenges. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and emotionally-focused perspectives to tailor care around clients' goals and circumstances, drawing on long practice with individuals, couples, and families.

Background and approach

Her approach is shaped by years of professional work and by the lessons learned directly from those she has treated and consulted with. She emphasizes the human capacity for change while acknowledging how difficult change can feel, and she supports clients through practical strategies, emotional exploration, and sustained encouragement.

Her focus covers stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, LGBT concerns, intimacy difficulties, parenting, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes, among related concerns. Barbara integrates clinical knowledge with a compassionate outlook rather than relying on technique alone.

She aims to form a collaborative relationship that recognizes shared human experience, respects individual differences, and helps clients move from their current situation toward the outcomes they want to achieve.

Integrating CBT and Emotionally-Focused Work Online

Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace or social anxiety concerns. She also employs Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore emotional responses and improve connection in relationships, concentrating on how feelings shape interactions and intimacy.

Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to clarify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and combine techniques from different approaches as needed so treatment matches each persons preferences and life context.

The online format supports that collaboration through several flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for convenience, and live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins or clients who prefer written communication. These formats make scheduling easier, allow therapy to fit into busy routines, and let licensed professionals provide consistent support even when in-person meetings are not possible.
