About Barbara
Barbara George is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She offers calm guidance for issues like anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and changes that feel overwhelming. Her tone is practical and steady, aimed at people looking for clear next steps.
Barbara draws on twelve years of clinical work across medical and behavioral health settings. She has experience in hospital emergency rooms, medical floors, and inpatient behavioral health units.
Background and approach
For a decade she co-facilitated grief support groups for families coping with a loved one’s death, and she holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. She also earned an undergraduate degree in social work from Weber State University. In sessions she centers the person’s goals and uses client-centered and solution-focused methods.
That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and aim for practical changes. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice different responses. Barbara aims to create a welcoming space where people can name goals and work through the barriers that block progress.
She often helps with parenting stress, relationship and family concerns, addiction challenges, and mood or attention issues. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client build a plan together and adjust it as needs shift. Clients who want straightforward tools for coping, clearer thinking, and steadier emotional responses may find her approach helpful.
Barbara practices in Utah and provides care that balances real-life solutions with compassionate support.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports moving toward values-based action even when emotions are strong, which can be helpful for anger, grief, and life changes.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace in sessions. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify what matters most, often useful for relationship, parenting, and self-esteem concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, or stress.
Barbara treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan when something isn't working. That collaborative process helps refine the work over time based on what the client finds useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is good for a full session feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
