About Barbara
Barbara George is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, and day-to-day stress. She writes in plain, steady language and aims to make sessions feel welcoming and understandable. Her approach centers on listening and helping each person set clear, practical goals they can work toward.
Barbara trained with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and holds an LCMHC in Utah. She also studied social work at Weber State University and has twelve years of clinical experience in medical and behavioral health settings. That background includes work in hospital emergency rooms, medical floors, and inpatient behavioral health units.
For a decade she co-facilitated grief support groups for families who had lost a loved one. That work informs how she supports people through loss and major life changes. She also has experience related to adoption and foster care and aging and geriatric issues.
Her practice draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused styles so clients shape the goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try small concrete changes. Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are additional tools she may use when helpful.
Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding what is getting in the way of change. People leave with specific strategies to try between sessions and a clear plan for next steps.
