About
Barbara Gibbons, LCSW, offers clinical support for people facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Licensed in both Delaware and Pennsylvania, she focuses on anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, trauma, and issues connected to gender and sexuality. Her caseload includes individuals managing grief, sleep disruption, panic, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns, and she also works with those experiencing compassion fatigue and codependency.
Her practice emphasizes tailored, evidence-informed care that draws on cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused interventions. She works with veterans and others navigating identity questions or the combined effects of co-occurring conditions, aiming to help people develop practical coping skills and increase emotional awareness. Barbara frames therapy as a collaborative process: she partners with each person to identify patterns, set manageable goals, and practice new strategies between sessions.
Clients can expect an approach that attends to present difficulties while also addressing how past wounds and current stressors intersect. She supports exploration of sexuality, gender dysphoria, and related concerns within a respectful, affirming clinical setting, and she tailors interventions to the client’s specific needs and priorities.

Remote therapy using evidence-based practices
Barbara delivers virtual care using approaches grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and trauma-focused work. In CBT she helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop concrete strategies to test and change them. Mindfulness methods are used to teach moment-to-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that can be practiced outside sessions. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past adversity with interventions aimed at processing traumatic memories and reducing their current impact.
These approaches are presented collaboratively: Barbara and the client set goals together, select strategies that fit the person’s situation, and review progress over time. For someone interested in skill-building, CBT and mindfulness provide structured exercises; for someone prioritizing trauma processing, trauma-focused techniques guide the therapeutic plan. Virtual sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and the communication options are matched to each person’s needs and preferences.
The remote format supports ongoing check-ins and between-session practice, with an emphasis on practical tools applicable to daily life and the client’s specific concerns.
