About Barbara
Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She speaks directly to practical concerns and offers a steady, respectful presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her background includes work in schools, intensive outpatient programs, and adoption counseling, and she brings a pragmatic, client-led style to sessions.
Barbara says she takes the client's lead while offering gentle guidance when helpful. Early sessions focus on concrete outcomes - she asks what will be different when counseling helps and uses that answer to build clear goals. She aims to use time efficiently and to honor each person's commitments.
Her experience includes supporting people affected by mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, those coping with trauma and abuse, and people dealing with addiction in a family. She has worked with children and adults in a variety of settings, including in-home and office-based intensive outpatient programs, and has provided adoption counseling and post-abortion counseling.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. She also describes her practice as faith-informed and collaborative when that fits a client's needs.
Barbara offers flexible scheduling and says she will try to accommodate alternate times when possible. She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to name measurable signs of progress and then builds goals from those observations.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding skills that reduce worry and improve emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and the client’s preferences. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.
The profile states Barbara offers flexible scheduling and communication modes but does not specify exact online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to work around school or work commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills to remote sessions so clients practice tools between meetings and review progress together.
