Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Walter Barron LCSW, and I have worked with many different client issues, stress management, ptsd, depression, anxiety, grief, major SMI diagnosis and marital/family relationship problems. I have been in the mental health field for 35 years, and my counseling experiences have included inpatient/outpatient, military employment for 11 years, veterans administration outpatient community services, and as a private contractor. My therapeutic approach is best described as client centered therapy with a warm non directive systems approach, having an emphasis on family individual dynamics. In addition I used the cognitive behavioral approach with the underpinning being the models of Dr. Beck, and Dr. Ellis. however; I do not impose any treatment modality on a client until there is a thorough assessment and a client therapist relationship with the client indicating what change they desire.
I respect client self determination, and realize that entering into therapy is a big step. I hope you will find therapy rewarding, and I look forward to working with you.

Many people want to know whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their needs and schedule, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online care, and if a client wants a different therapeutic fit they can switch therapists at any time. For many people facing everyday mental health concerns, online therapy is a practical and effective option to consider.
