About Barbara
Barbara Morris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 16 years of practice. She works with adults facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life changes. Barbara also addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder and supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose.
Barbara trained with a Master of Social Work and has long experience in child welfare, family crisis, and end-of-life care. She draws on several practical methods to help people manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Her style centers on listening first and building on what a person already brings. That means starting from the client’s current situation and moving at a pace that feels doable. Practical exercises, thought-work, and present-moment awareness often appear in sessions.
Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to spot patterns and learn new ways to respond to anger and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support decision making and strengthen motivation for change.
People come for short-term problem solving and for longer work on deeper patterns. Sessions typically involve talking through recent situations, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing skills for managing intense feelings. Barbara also works with aging and geriatric issues, forgiveness, and career concerns when these affect emotional health.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Barbara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal interactions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to encourage open discussion and to help a person decide what matters most. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also allow more flexible timing when someone needs to schedule around work or caregiving. The focus remains on practical skills, problem solving, and regular practice between sessions to make progress on anger and related concerns.
