About Philicia

Philicia Barbieri brings a relational, experience-centered approach to therapy that emphasizes practical tools and personal meaning.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical practice, she blends evidence-based techniques like EMDR and cognitive behavioral methods with mindfulness and motivational strategies to help people move past stuck patterns.

Philicia’s background includes addiction recovery work, crisis counseling, community-based services, and group facilitation, experiences that inform an open, accepting style. She describes therapy as collaborative exploration, meeting clients where they are and supporting realistic change toward clearer goals and greater resilience.

Philicia often integrates breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga-informed practices to strengthen emotional regulation and recovery-oriented skills. Located in Pennsylvania, she supports adults and couples facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship struggles, grief, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her practice emphasizes safety, paced processing of difficult memories through EMDR when appropriate, and building sustainable coping strategies for daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Philicia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR alongside mindfulness-based tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning. EMDR is an approach used to carefully process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity while rebuilding a stronger sense of internal safety.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, symptoms, and preferences and may integrate elements from different methods to tailor a plan that feels right. Sessions can include skills practice, guided mindfulness or breath work, and paced trauma processing when indicated.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it possible to access consistent care without commuting. These options allow licensed professionals to provide regular check-ins, homework support, and paced therapeutic work that fits into varied schedules and life demands, helping clients sustain progress across everyday contexts.
