About Barbara

Barbara George is a licensed clinical mental health counselor based in Utah who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and ADHD among other concerns.

Background and approach

With 12 years of professional experience, she blends client-centered care with practical strategies so clients set the goals and steer the pace of their work together. Her practice emphasizes helping individuals regain balance and tackle obstacles that interfere with daily functioning.

Her background includes work in hospital emergency rooms, medical floors, and inpatient behavioral health units, and a decade co-facilitating grief support groups for bereaved families. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and a bachelor’s in Social Work from Weber State University, and practices as an LCMHC in Utah.

Barbara draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, Acceptance and Commitment principles, and solution-focused methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, creating a welcoming, growth-oriented space where practical change is the priority.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Barbara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping challenges. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. These approaches are paired with mindfulness techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and current needs, and will adjust strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy periods, and allows practical, skills-based work to continue from wherever the client is located in Utah.
