About Barbara
Barbara Moorehead is a Louisiana psychologist with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and challenges related to LGBT concerns. Barbara aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. People can expect clear conversation about what’s happening and small, usable strategies to try between meetings. She pays attention to how life changes, health issues, and work in high-stress roles affect mood and coping.
Background and approach
Barbara has worked with clients dealing with military and first responder stress and with long-term health or caregiving strains. She also supports people navigating blended family dynamics, family of origin concerns, and communication problems. That practical background shapes how she approaches day-to-day problems.
Her work includes support for substance-related difficulties, mood disorders, and issues tied to gender identity and HIV/AIDS. She takes multicultural concerns into account and listens for how identity and background shape each person’s situation. Sessions emphasize direct problem solving and clearer patterns of thinking and behavior.
Barbara describes therapy as a collaboration. She helps people set realistic goals, try new ways of responding, and notice what changes. If someone prefers video, phone, chat, or text formats, she can work in those ways to match personal needs.

How Barbara’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and mood problems going; it focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and anger. Another approach emphasizes building steady routines and problem-solving steps for day-to-day challenges like caregiver strain, chronic illness, or role stress experienced by first responders and military-connected clients.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, current struggles, and treatment preferences. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust based on what feels most helpful and doable for the client.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video lets people read facial cues and work in a conversational way. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing busy schedules.
