About Bruce
Bruce Barrett brings four decades of clinical experience to his practice and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.
Background and approach
He weaves together long-standing therapeutic interests in meaning and personal growth with practical techniques to help clients explore their stories and resources. Barrett is an LMHC who has worked in Massachusetts since 2012 and earlier in New Hampshire and Massachusetts at the masters level.
His background includes work as a Certified Alcoholism Counselor in inpatient and outpatient settings and many years of lived recovery from alcohol use, which informs his empathetic stance toward addiction and relapse prevention. He also brings informed experience with autism spectrum concerns and with the lasting effects of growing up in military-connected or cross-cultural families.
Therapeutically he favors narrative-oriented work while drawing on Jungian and psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused techniques. Barrett aims to help people clarify meaning, manage symptoms, and build practical coping strategies through an approach that is flexible, reflective, and grounded in long clinical experience.
Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Exploration and Healing
Jungian-informed approaches invite clients to explore symbolic material, dreams, and deeper patterns to gain insight into life choices and inner conflicts; this can be helpful for people seeking meaning and greater self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotion regulation and day-to-day coping. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives, helping clients reframe difficult experiences and separate problems from their sense of self, which is often useful for trauma, identity questions, and life transitions.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and usually unfolds collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each client to determine which combination of methods best supports progress and well-being over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow for a consistent therapeutic process using the clinician's chosen approaches.
