About Barbara
Dr. Barbara Wasowska helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and the everyday stresses that pile up.
She greets people with respect and compassion and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Dr. Wasowska uses clear, practical conversations to find what matters most to each person.
Sessions are tailored to the client’s needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to clarify feelings and Attachment-Based approaches to understand patterns in close relationships. Her work also includes tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build meaningful action. This mix supports coping with grief, career shifts, midlife changes, and long-term mood concerns.
People dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, or social anxiety can expect steps that focus on daily functioning and relief. Dr. Wasowska brings 14 years of clinical experience and holds an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential.
She practices in Maryland and offers sessions in English. She emphasizes collaboration and adjusts pace to match each person’s comfort. For someone balancing life transitions, caregiving, or multicultural stressors, she aims to be a steady, practical partner.
The focus is on real-life changes - improving relationships, easing intense emotions, and building sustainable coping skills.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Wasowska combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that work well online. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong feelings, which can clarify how relationship patterns form. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small, purposeful actions to reduce struggling with thoughts and move toward what matters.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. This happens through regular check-ins so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and reading nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress and usable skills.
