About Barbara
Barbara Segreto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW-R in New York with 38 years of experience. She works with adults facing issues like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and anger. Sessions are grounded in practical problem solving and straightforward talk about what is getting in the way of daily life.
She helps people who struggle with sleep, eating concerns, self-esteem, stress, and parenting pressure. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, and the effects of major life changes. Her work includes attention to LGBT issues, ADHD, and coping after separation or divorce.
Barbara's background spans inpatient, emergency, and outpatient services. She has worked with hospitals and community agencies across New York, and has run a private practice for more than 20 years. That range means she is familiar with crisis settings as well as ongoing outpatient care.
In sessions she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns and to build practical skills. She also brings experience working with older adults and eating disorders as focused areas of practice. The goal in early sessions is to outline clear steps the client can try between meetings.
Barbara asks clients to be straightforward about what they want to change. She uses plain language and concrete strategies rather than jargon. If you are ready to work on anger, stress, or related concerns, she helps set realistic next steps and check progress as therapy continues.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style work helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase anger or anxiety and then practice different ways of responding. Behavioral techniques focus on changing routines and reactions, such as learning brief grounding or relaxation steps to reduce intense responses.She also uses practical problem-solving strategies to break large issues into manageable steps. That approach helps with stress, relationship frustrations, and real-life challenges like sleep or eating concerns. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which methods fit best for the problems being addressed and adjust the approach as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks or busy days, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins. Others prefer an in-person visit when available. Barbara will work with you to choose a format that fits your schedule and the kind of work you want to do.
