Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi!
My name is Barbara Ramsey and I am a licensed therapist ( License number 44SC01482000). Welcome to the on-line counseling room, which will be our private, secure place to communicate. You can enter this room from any internet connected device wherever you are.
Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I’m a nurse and clinical social worker with a masters degree from Rutgers University. I have worked in the hospital and home care but most of my professional career has been as a psychotherapist.
When someone starts counseling with me, I try to get to know them and, at the same time, help them cope with their immediate problems. I’m a good listener and easy to talk to. My years of experience have given me perspective. I try to notice patterns and sensitivities and reflect these back to my clients. Considering a member’s values, hopes and dreams help us shape goals and support is given along the way. By seeing how things can get better, stress is reduced and clearer thinking results.
I hope that you are interested in working with me. Let’s start helping you feel better.
To help us get started, please tell me what brought you here. Just a few short sentences that describe the challenges you are facing and what you would like to talk about. It will help me know what you are going through and we’ll schedule a live session to go on from there.
I am looking forward to working with you.

Barbara Ramsey is a New Jersey-licensed clinical social worker and nurse who brings 35 years of professional experience to her psychotherapy practice. She earned a master’s degree from Rutgers University and has worked in hospital and home care settings, with the majority of her career devoted to psychotherapeutic work. She is licensed to practice clinical social work in New Jersey; her license number is 44SC01482000.
Her approach to therapy balances close listening with practical support. When someone begins counseling with her, she focuses on understanding the person while addressing immediate concerns. Over decades of practice she has developed a habit of noticing patterns and sensitivities and reflecting those observations back to clients to promote insight and clearer thinking.
Barbara works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting issues, self-esteem and depression, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep disorders, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD and coaching-related goals. She considers each person’s values, hopes and goals while helping to shape a plan for change and offering steady support along the way.
She offers counseling through an online session room that can be accessed from any internet-connected device. To begin, clients are invited to share a few sentences describing what brought them to therapy and what they would like to address; that information helps plan a live session to follow. Barbara welcomes the opportunity to work together and to help clients move toward feeling better.
For many people, remote therapy makes a meaningful difference. Research and practice indicate that for common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person treatment.
One major benefit is convenience and flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that works best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapy delivered online allows continuity of care even when life circumstances change, and it offers multiple ways to communicate that can match different comfort levels and practical needs. Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they want a different fit.
If you’re considering online therapy, weigh how these advantages align with your needs and preferences, and reach out to a therapist to discuss next steps and availability.
