About Barry
Barry Wasser is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship strain, and a broad range of life challenges.
Background and approach
He draws on eight years of clinical experience to support clients as they navigate grief, addiction concerns, career transitions, intimacy and family issues, and other difficulties that undermine daily functioning and wellbeing. Barry approaches care with a collaborative, client-centered stance that prioritizes practical skills and long-term growth.
He blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor interventions to each person's needs. His background includes work in community mental health settings, group facilitation, and case management, experience that informs a holistic view of factors affecting mental health.
Based in New Jersey, Barry values openness, assertiveness, and a supportive therapeutic partnership. He seeks to create a space where clients can explore obstacles, build coping strategies, and pursue both immediate goals and sustained personal development.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Barry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and respond differently to difficult emotions and urges. Both approaches emphasize practical tools and skills that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Barry treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to interventions to determine which methods fit best for each client. This flexibility allows therapy to evolve as needs change over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care when travel, work, or caregiving responsibilities make in-person visits difficult, while allowing therapists to use CBT and ACT exercises, reflection, and coaching in accessible ways.
