Work with Barbara Dunn (MA, LPC) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

I am a fellow professional, and have been a client of Barbara's for just over year. She listened and empathized with all my professional and personal concerns and anxieties. Self care is so important to us as counselors, especially during this Covid crisis. I'm so glad I was able to confide in Barb and listen to a perspective from another professional counselor. It has been very convenient, not having to attend appointments outside of my home or office.

Barbara has helped me immensely through the anxiety that comes with the current pandemic and state of the world. She has given me tools to help me understand how and why anxiety happens.

In a short time Barbara has helped me make sense of my anxiety and has already taught me useful ways to cope with it. Instead of my go-to of covering it up and making it worse in the long run. I feel more confident and able to face things head-on. She's easy to talk to and makes things relatable.

I like Barbara's way of consulting, she doesn't emphasize on the issue, she tackles it from a different perspective which helps with the paradigm shift, and she offers effective ways and tools to help solve the issue.

She mostly responds only 4 times a week in the evening. Having a specific number of responses made me specific with my messages and questions and made me count on myself more and not be in a need for counseling all the time.

I had the chance to work with Barb for about half an year. She was patient and addressed several of my issues in a systematic and incremental way. I still follow several of her rules and it helped me gain balance and focus. No amount of words can convey my gratitude towards Barb for helping me out of this dark phase

I have liked working with Barb. She seems to understand all of my ramblings and she has helped me to understand my grief and given good advice on how to deal with it. Since starting this process I feel so much better - I'm starting to feel ready to move forward and be happy again!

Barbara is very nice and easy to talk to. I feel like she has different ways of approaching things and is very positive! I like that she talks to me like I’m another person, and not do the whole “hmm how does that make you feel” response that some counselors give. I would really recommend her to others!

Barbara has been easy to chat with. I don't feel judged. I can ramble on and on and she somehow manages to get to the essence of it. Barbara asks helpful questions that give me something to think about and help point me in the right direction.

Written on Apr 25, 2017 after therapy with Barbara for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, and parenting

I have been working with Barb for one week now. She has asked very good questions, really gotten a good handle on what I want to get out of therapy, and helped me achieve some early results.

I feel in really good hands with Barb, and this is comforting to me. I never thought I would feel this way from therapy as I have never done anything like this before, so I am very grateful to her for making it all so positive an experience. However, she's a good task master as well, and keeps me working at stuff, and questioning things, which means she's results oriented as well as making one feel comforted.

Thank you Barb for everything so far, I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Barbara has been such a great help for me. She has been patiently working with me on my marriage, providing meaningful insights that greatly helped me to see the bigger picture of some circumstances in my relationship. Her methodology is simple, clear and honest, making it very easy to understand and apply to your life. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help.

Written on Apr 20, 2017 after therapy with Barbara for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

I went through three counselors before being connected with Barbara. I might be high maintenance, but she didn't make me feel like that. She was the most empathetic, helpful therapist I've ever spoken to. All the other therapists tell you, "that must be hard," or "I see"... Barbara on the other hand is REAL. She gives advice, shares insights, and makes you work to figure your sh*** out. I am so appreciative of her. Give her a try and you won't regret it. You'll only regret not being connected to her sooner, like me.
