01About Barbara
Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood changes, and parenting challenges.

Barbara draws on her practical life experience as a divorced mother and grandmother to relate to everyday struggles. Her style is client-centered and faith-friendly, meaning she listens first and follows each person's goals.
Background and approach
She asks early on how you will know counseling is helping and uses that to shape measurable goals. Sessions may include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to manage symptoms and try new responses. Barbara has ten years of professional experience and holds an LPC license in Louisiana.
She has worked with people across the mental health spectrum, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction recovery concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting stress. She has also supported adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, and workplace or money-related stress. In sessions she balances following your lead with gentle guidance when appropriate.
She offers a flexible schedule and will try to accommodate different times when possible. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits your life. People can expect straightforward questions about goals, practical tools to try between sessions, and respectful use of appointment time.
Barbara emphasizes clear, achievable steps so progress is easier to notice and track.

04Online support
Approach-driven care you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take action that matches what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior, which often helps with mood problems, panic, and worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation; it works well alongside other strategies for stress and trauma.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that seem to fit. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so the plan reflects the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer several practical advantages. Video calls let you have a conversation much like an in-person visit while staying wherever you are. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, day-to-day support, or a lower-stakes way to start. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow quick follow-ups, and make it easier to maintain consistency over time.
