01About Barbara
Barbara Bosoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings three decades of clinical experience to her practice in Virginia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, and identity issues related to LGBT concerns.
Barbara uses straightforward listening and gentle questioning to help people describe what is hardest for them now. She believes people already have strengths to build on, and therapy is a place to notice those strengths and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and naming feelings so change can begin. Over 30 years, Barbara has worked in many settings and learned from clients as much as from training. That experience shapes how she sees patterns in relationships, family of origin issues, and workplace stress.
She pays attention to how past hurts like abandonment, sexual assault, or domestic violence affect current life. Her approach blends client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work to address upsetting thoughts, intense emotions, and relationship problems. This mix helps with social anxiety, bipolar mood management, and navigating divorce or separation.
Barbara aims to make sessions practical and hopeful. She talks with people about small steps that fit their day-to-day life. Her goal is to help clients find clearer choices and steady ways to move forward.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a space to feel heard and to build confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and coping patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and shift strong emotions that affect relationships and closeness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. That way the plan can change if something isn't working.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can be used for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, parenting schedules, or travel, while allowing the therapist to use CBT and emotionally-focused work in practical ways.
