About Barbara

Barbara Haslip is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with 22 years of experience providing therapy and medical social work services. She has worked with a wide range of populations including seniors, adults, teens, couples, families, LGBT individuals, and substance abuse groups, bringing deep experience addressing mood disorders, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Her practice focuses on concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family conflicts, substance use, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, workplace challenges, and domestic violence, along with other mental, emotional, and physical health issues.

Barbara uses practical, goal-oriented care to help clients set specific and attainable treatment objectives tailored to their needs. Her therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and compassionate while remaining respectful and direct when clarity and boundaries are needed. She draws on a variety of clinical methods to support diverse clients across the lifespan and has a track record of providing psychotherapy to seniors, adults, and teens.

Based in Michigan and conducting sessions in English, Barbara values the courage it takes to begin therapy and to continue through the work. She welcomes those who are ready to pursue a more empowered and fulfilling life and offers supportive guidance to help them move forward.

Approaches to Therapy and Online Support

Barbara uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work. This approach helps individuals gain insight and build confidence while focusing on what matters most to them. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress. When emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to teach coping skills, distress tolerance, and mindful communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barbara collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging allow ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without rearranging daily life.
