About Tom

Dr. Tom Barbera integrates evidence-based therapies into a practical, skills-focused approach to help people manage persistent stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma-related difficulties.

Background and approach

Dr. Barbera draws on 29 years of clinical experience to teach coping strategies, symptom monitoring, and behavioral techniques that support everyday functioning and improved sleep.

He earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology and began his career with an emphasis on health psychology and behavioral medicine, later contributing to family medicine residency training and building a behavioral care clinic in Indiana.

His practice emphasizes learning and practicing concrete skills between sessions, including symptom tracking, reading and writing exercises, and coping skills practice tailored to each person’s goals. Dr.

Barbera offers treatment for a broad range of concerns such as depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, insomnia, chronic pain, and substance-related habits alongside relationship, career, and grief-related stressors. He provides care through multiple remote formats and holds the license designation IN Psychologist 20041728A in Indiana.

Online Therapy Using Practical, Evidence-Based Approaches

Dr. Barbera often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavioral changes; this approach is frequently applied to anxiety, depression, insomnia, and many forms of stress. He also employs mindfulness therapy to teach present-focused awareness and stress reduction skills that support emotion regulation and coping with persistent symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods over time so treatment stays relevant and useful. Clients are invited to try techniques in session and report back on what helps so the plan can be refined together.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for those who prefer different communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to practice skills between appointments with support from a licensed professional.
