About Barbara

Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of clinical experience and an active license in Louisiana. As a counselor she blends professional training with lived experience - she is a divorced mother of five, a grandmother of six, and the parent of an adult in recovery from addiction. Those personal perspectives inform her work alongside a broad clinical background.

Over her career Barbara has worked with children and adults across many settings, including intensive outpatient programs in both home and office environments. She has provided adoption counseling, post-abortion counseling, support for abused children, and treatment for anxiety, stress, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. She currently serves as a school counselor while continuing to counsel clients in other contexts.

Her practice follows a faith-informed, collaborative and client-centered framework. She offers a range of interventions - including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused approaches - selected to match each personâs needs. In early sessions she invites clients to identify how they will know counseling has helped and uses those observations to set practical goals.

Barbara emphasizes respect for each person seeking help, values efficient use of session time, and strives to accommodate scheduling needs when possible. She offers flexible modes of communication and works with individuals confronting stress and anxiety, grief, parenting and family challenges, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, career and life transitions, and mood disorders among other concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and pace, providing a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the personâs lead while offering guidance when helpful. This approach is often used for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which helps with anxiety, trauma responses, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Barbara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She uses early sessions to establish what will indicate progress and helps tailor interventions accordingly.

Online therapy with Barbara uses multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to increase access and flexibility. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and to choose the mode that fits their schedule, comfort level, and daily life, making consistent care easier to maintain.
