About

Barbara Kaminer is a licensed clinical social worker born and raised in Kentucky who has spent nearly four decades providing therapy and supportive counseling in her home state. Her career began working with children, adolescents, and their families, and more recently she had the privilege of working with Veterans, often addressing depression and suicidal thinking.

Barbara emphasizes the value of seeking help early, encouraging people to reach out when something feels off rather than waiting for a crisis. Her approach is open, encouraging, interactive, and hopeful; she offers a relaxed manner while remaining respectfully straightforward and expects clear communication and cooperation as part of the change process.

She provides services online but does not accept clients who want text-only treatment, preferring to see clients or at minimum hear them during sessions. Barbara holds a Kentucky clinical social work license, presented in reader-friendly terms as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), license number 464, and she looks forward to talking with those who reach out.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Many people find it achieves similar outcomes for these kinds of issues.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their needs, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from a distance.

All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and you have the option to switch therapists if you feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to get support while keeping the same professional standards found in traditional settings.
