About Barbara

Barbara Haslip is an experienced Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people address a wide range of emotional and practical concerns, including ADHD among other focus areas.

Background and approach

With 22 years of practice in Michigan, she guides clients through stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, and work or career challenges. Her background includes medical social work and psychotherapy with diverse adults and older adults, and she aims to make treatment goals clear and achievable.

Her therapeutic presence is warm, direct when needed, and grounded in respect and dignity. She uses evidence-informed methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s situation.

Barbara emphasizes practical, obtainable steps so people can build skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and navigating life transitions. Clients can expect a collaborative process that honors their strengths while addressing patterns that cause distress.

She draws on long experience supporting people through family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting and aging issues, codependency and attachment concerns, and the wide range of challenges listed in her specialties.

Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Barbara integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy as core tools in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building collaboration so the therapist and client can shape goals together and use the client's strengths to guide progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She draws on evidence-informed techniques and adapts them to the client's needs, discussing options and making adjustments as work progresses so clients feel involved in decision-making.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives, support follow-up between sessions, and provide multiple ways to practice skills and receive feedback from a licensed professional.
