About Barbara

Barbara Segreto is a licensed clinical social worker with decades of experience supporting adults facing a wide range of life stressors and mental health concerns.

Background and approach

She brings a steady, respectful presence to work with people dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, ADHD, and caregiving stress. With 38 years in the field, she frames treatment around each person's unique circumstances and goals.

Her background includes long-term independent practice work alongside years in inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings at hospitals and community agencies across New York. That clinical history informs a practical approach grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a focus on collaboration.

Clients can expect individualized care that reflects both extensive clinical experience and attention to the particular challenges they bring to therapy.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Barbara Segreto draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are well suited to remote work. One approach focuses on symptom management and coping skills training, teaching practical strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related problems. Another emphasizes structured problem-solving and behavioral interventions to address issues such as eating concerns, addictions, and mood instability. Both approaches use clear goals, skill practice, and collaborative planning to help clients make changes in daily life.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions whether the emphasis is on short-term coping, ongoing management, or addressing deeper relational or trauma-related concerns.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options allow appointments to fit into busy schedules, provide continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and let people engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
