About Barbara
Barbara Morris is a Florida LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her practice also covers depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, career issues, and compassion fatigue.
She takes a practical, person-focused approach. Sessions look at what is happening now and what people want to change. She draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas to help people notice patterns, try new skills, and reduce reactivity over time.
Barbara trained with a Master of Social Work and has a background in child welfare, infant mental health, and gerontology. That history informs how she considers life stage, caregiving, and family roles when anger or stress come up. She describes her style as nonjudgmental and grounded in listening first.
In sessions she uses straightforward techniques like skill building, goal setting, and brief coaching conversations. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of how she helps people strengthen coping and follow through on changes. Therapy often balances practical strategies with space to talk through strong feelings.
People who come to her for anger typically work on recognizing triggers, managing impulses, and repairing relationships afterward. She also supports people navigating major life changes, aging concerns, forgiveness, and finding clearer purpose. Her work aims to make daily life more manageable, one step at a time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps clarify goals and keeps the work driven by what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for thought patterns one month and DBT skill practice the next, with mindfulness woven in as useful.
