About Larry

Larry Barber is an LPC based in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods and mindfulness practices to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

His work emphasizes practical skills for coping with everyday pressures and navigating complex emotional experiences. He also pays attention to concerns tied to aging and caregiving, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control issues, and the emotional effects of loss and end-of-life matters.

Clients can expect a therapeutic process that balances evidence-informed techniques with attention to personal values and goals, aiming to strengthen coping strategies, enhance interpersonal functioning, and address patterns that maintain distress. Larry conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats to fit different schedules.

He holds the Texas LPC 18390 credential and brings nearly two decades of practice experience to his work with people seeking support during difficult transitions and persistent concerns.

Approach-Based Online Therapy and Practical Support



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and learning concrete techniques to change them; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and many forms of emotional difficulty. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while clients explore their values and goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic stress or persistent worries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapt methods accordingly, blending elements from different approaches when that best serves the client's progress.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach licensed professionals from home or work. These options increase flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, health limitations, or other demands, and allow ongoing access to therapeutic techniques, check-ins, and skill-building between live conversations.
