About Barbara
Barbara Bosoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of clinical experience. She brings a calm, straightforward style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Barbara believes people have the capacity to change, even when change feels difficult.
She sees therapy as a partnership where practical steps and steady effort matter. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered approaches, and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide sessions.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for feelings beneath the surface and helps people name and respond to those emotions. She also helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of coping. When relationships are strained, she works to improve emotional connection and repair interactions.
Her background includes long-term clinical work, consultation roles, and experience serving as an expert witness in local and state courts. That breadth of work informs a practical approach to problem solving and to managing stressful life events like divorce, separation, or workplace conflict. Barbara aims to make therapy clear and usable.
She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time. Her style is steady, direct, and focused on tangible progress.

Online support
Emotion and Thought-Focused Care Online
Barbara uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions that shape relationships and personal choices. EFT focuses on recognizing feelings, naming them, and using that awareness to change how people respond to stress or conflict.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach as well and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan over time so sessions remain focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video meetings allow face-to-face interaction; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or when a written format feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit appointments around work, parenting, or other daily demands.
