Barbara Ramsey

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.
