Barbara Carroll, LCSW, is a licensed clinician in Texas with ten years of practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She draws on a range of clinical training to respond to complex presentations including post-traumatic stress and borderline personality patterns. Her approach centers on helping clients identify strengths within their own histories and on practical strategies to manage intense emotions and distressing memories.
Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment and family of origin issues, dissociation, impulsivity, body image challenges, and mood disorders. Barbara integrates trauma-focused methods alongside skills-based interventions to help clients build tolerable ways of coping. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which the client’s perspective guides the priorities and pace.
Barbara offers a respectful, skill-oriented framework for those navigating loss, recovery from abuse, chronic anxiety, or recurring anger. She emphasizes actionable tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches while supporting clients as they explore personal meaning and next steps in their healing journey.
Online sessions with structured trauma and skills work
Barbara provides distance sessions that combine trauma-focused and skills-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior and to practice alternatives that reduce distress. In parallel, dialectical behavior therapy informed techniques support emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating strong feelings without acting impulsively.
For clients with histories of traumatic memories, she offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address distress linked to past events, alongside body-centered somatic and mindfulness practices to help calm physiological responses. Sessions are collaborative: goals, pacing, and specific techniques are chosen together so the work fits the client’s needs and readiness.
Barbara meets with clients using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins, and more traditional psychotherapy work while maintaining continuity across different communication preferences.
