More about Barbara

With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I offer a seasoned combination of wisdom, current relevance and flexible interventions. I have seen trends come and go in the fields of psychology and counseling, so I like to identify your particular needs and tailor treatment modalities to your unique circumstances and expectations. I enjoy helping people discover their true needs/desires and pursuing their dreams, potential and meeting their life goals.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression. trauma and neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, etc.). I enjoy working with individuals of all age and work mostly with longer-term clients who are interested in lasting, life growth work.
I own an autism consulting business and am a Certified Autism Specialist, a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Clinical Supervisor (for AL). I have worked in multiple settings - inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, residential, in-home, private practice and, of course, virtual. My pioneering work with online counseling in the 90s (pre-Google!) was featured on Oprah's network and in Glamour Magazine, so I come to you with the highest of standards in the field.
I typically use cognitive-behavioral therapy, skills-building from dialectical-behavioral therapy and neuroeducation (teaching about how your mind-body chemicals spur your feelings which lead to thoughts, behaviors and habits). I believe that people change when they're ready - my goal is to help you get ready to change and then to support you through change. You know you can't directly change others, but you CAN change yourself - and by doing so, you help change the world for the better, one step at a time.
And it all starts with you!
Let's create a treatment plan that is both realistic and challenging for you - one that involves a precise balance of safety and risk, comfort and courage. My clients say I'm easy and fun to work with because of the combination of my personality, professional and personal experience...and thus I use a balanced combination of compassion, reality and humor.
Change is hard enough - why not make it fun, meaningful and enjoy the journey?
I look forward to working with you!
Ready? Set....Grow!!

It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.

She has good insight and is helpful and supportive.
We have not had our first appt yet but I already feel supported and that she will help me. Glad I found her as she has experience in what I am going through.
She's book smart and people smart. She always helps me see the positive and her insights are spot on. I can't recommend her enough.
Barbara is great! She’s sharp, sensible and helpful.
Only had one session with her so far but I’m optimistic. She had a good mix of supportiveness and offering me new thoughts I hadn’t considered yet.
Barbara is strong and direct. Intelligent and kind. A master of her craft.
Barbara is knowledgeable, professional and also very personable. She has helped me gain insight, learn to be more self aware and ask myself questions that are effective in changing my less productive or serving habits so that I can make progress on my own as well. I really recommend her.
I appreciate her expertise and ability to be human.
Best therapist I've ever had.. nice to have a therapist that's on the Spectrum as well.
Barbara is very caring, thoughtful and reaches out to make sure I have access to care. Highly recommended.
She is very understanding and patient. Exactly what I wanted
The very best
She has been amazing!
Barbara is wonderful. She is insightful, compassionate, knowledgeable and seems to always hone in on the deeper issue below the issue we are discussing. I feel like I’m in such great care with her as my therapist.
She is awesome and I appreciate Barbara for all she has helped me with
Barbara has been my therapist for years now I couldn’t live without her !
Incredible she's amazing!
She's been very helpful in my journey of building boundaries in my life for some difficult relatives. Thoughtful, caring, -- in seasons when I'm busy she doesn't lose faith in me even when it's been a week or two since I was able to update her.
She is a wonderful counselor. Very helpful, very caring. Always checking in. Always trying to keep me centered on my directions and goals. Able to listen very well and helps me to figure out what steps to take to improve in The areas I want to improve in. She’s very wonderful!
She is very consistent, shares helpful and relative information, and redirects my negative thinking into a better way of seeing things. She makes a point to always be encouraging, kind, and polite, and she reminds me of progress that I have made, despite the more defeating moments.
Barbara is extremely insightful and supportive and knowledgeable she really puts everything into perspective so that I can use for guidance in my life
Barbara is very kind and patient! Even when life becomes overwhelming for me and I'm not able to respond in a timely manner, she keeps up with her contact and drops by to send blessings whenever possible. I'm very thankful for her!
Barbara has been a most excellent help and comfort in leading to my recovery. I have much to thank her for, most of all being a constant companion, listening without judgment, and giving great advice. Thank you Barbara for all your hard work, and bless you!
Barbara understands what I'm trying to communicate. I feel heard, believed, and validated, while also pushed to grow. She is willing to pivot her approach and suggest different tools and strategies based on her years of experience, rather than sticking with one favorite approach. I was surprised to get such a competent therapist on my first try on PrideCounseling. This is the best counseling experience I've had.
Solid clinician. Intuitive. Hysterically funny. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Barbara, for your time and care I've enjoyed these past few weeks of our friendship. May God bless you and thank you again. God bless Lorraine.
Barbara Leigh is such a wonderful counselor. She is sympathetic and understanding, a wonderful listener, and her advice gets right to the heart of what I need help with. Dealing with chronic illness and the way it affects my mood is something that's drastically new to me, and Barbara has been so helpful and supportive as I learn to manage my stress. My family has noticed a marked improvement in the way I feel since I started using Pride Counseling. I'm so glad I decided to try this!
Barbara has been wonderful! She is helping me work through lots of serious stuff - anxiety and the things that can result from an anxiety disorder. I like the way she can explain what is going on physically in my body and brain and actually gives me direction in what to do. She also makes me feel very safe to open up and not judgmental and I like that. I highly recommend.
I just started my session with Barbara Leigh, but she seems very informative and supportive so far. I would definitely recommend her.
Barbara Leigh has been a Godsend. I am so grateful for Faithful Counseling. Therapy has been a light in a long, dark tunnel for me. Knowing someone cares, is praying for me, and is able to offer me counsel and Christ-centered wisdom that I need, means each week my tunnel of anxiety, depression and a hurtful past gets shorter, and I'm that much closer to the light.
Mrs. Barbara is very in-tune with my needs though I am unable to pin point them or voice them. She quickly sees the points and gets straight to the matter. I am grateful to have Barbara. I look forward to working with her further.
She is responsive, kind and thoughtful. She clearly reads and considers everything I say before thoughtfully responding with validation, reassurances and great follow up questions.
Warm and understanding. Takes time to get to know me and the effort to clarify to ensure accurate understanding.
Barbara is competent, professional, has a deep understanding of the issues that she is guiding through resolution. She is honest and flexible with communication and counseling approaches. I always look forward to her response and appreciate her insight her truthfulness and a graceful ability to provide a constructive feedback.
Unfortunately, I have had several therapist over my lifetime and I can truly say Barbara is the best therapist I have ever had. She is both empathetic and to the point, providing solutions and advice that are doable and achievable. In three visits, she has provided me skills that will last a lifetime.
Barbara has helped me over the course of the last 2 years sort through my thoughts regarding trauma and even family dynamics from my role in being a good spouse to how to navigate the family I came from and also married into. She has a lovely real person approach to it all. She isn’t stuffy and yet balances the refreshing realness of her style with professionalism that sets her apart. She is such a gift to me and to the therapy world. Everyone needs a Barbara in their life.
Barbara is the best therapist I've ever worked with, she's very thorough, very supportive, very encouraging. She listens, she confronts issues head on. She gives practical advice. She is really very good at seeing the bigger picture. Love having her as my therapist.
Barbara is a wonderful therapist. She is the absolute best and I've been working with various ones throughout my life. She is professional and has so many therapy techniques that we've tried to deal with crippling anxiety and depression. She is amazing and I would follow her no matter where she goes. She's helped change my life for the better and helped me learn to deal with all the major issues that are entirely out of my control.
She is kind, knowledgeable, and she listens. I appreciate her listening and her affirming words as I share things.
I’ve clicked with Barbara from our very first interaction. She has lots to offer and her style of therapy is so comforting. There’s a good balance between logical and emotional approaches to tackle my problems. I love how she is very detail-oriented and takes everything you say seriously. She is so validating at all levels while also pointing out the areas you need to work on. Definitely my favorite therapist I’ve ever worked with so far!
She responds so quickly and respectfully.
Working with Barbara Leigh has truly been the best therapy experience I've ever had.
So far this therapist has already been a great help to giving me insight on my feelings.
Barbara Leigh has made such a difference in my life by working with her. By her listening and compassion, I have been able to move out of depression onto doing a little planning about my future. I am 74 years old and am in transition making decisions about downsizing and moving and what my life will look like. I'm so glad to have Barbara to be my sounding board and making some wonderful recommendations about next steps. I would highly recommend Barbara!
She is very knowledgeable, keeps up with the latest research/information, and is very insightful. She has a great sense of humor, which, I, personally, greatly appreciate. She constantly surprises me with fascinating tidbits of psychology which help me learn how the human brain functions. On a scale of 1 - 10. she's a 12.
Barbara has been a amazing. I never thought a therapist would understand me especially with the age difference and different walks of life. She’s like a good friend that gives good advise. She’s a Great listener and motivator! I always look forward to our zoom call.
Barbara Leigh is a highly skilled therapist who listens and asks great questions that get at the heart of the issues that you may be dealing with. She is very personable and compassionate. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help navigating the stresses and challenges of the world that we live in.
I’ve only been working with her for two weeks for Barbara has already helped me. She listens well and is very insightful. She’s responsive and has just been a wonderful addition to my journey of understanding the damages I have from traumatic events and healing.
Barbra is awseome and has great feed back!
Barbara was my first therapist and has set the gold standard for all future therapists. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for help as she is compassionate, understanding and professional. She provides a world of experience and explains strategies and concepts in such a easily understood way.
Barbara is amazing..She has been my therapist for a while now and I wouldn't be where I am today without her.
Best therapist EVER.
It was a much needed help and I very much appreciate her help.
Barbara is so amazing!
Barbara has been a literal life changer. She is the reason I will stay with Better Health. She knows me, gives great advice, and has helped me see things in a different light. Our sessions together are invaluable. She is THE best therapist I have ever seen and I can tell I have grown and am managing my issues a lot better with her therapy implementation.
Barbara has been a huge help. she helps me see different perspectives, and really helps me work through my feelings.
She is super calm and friendly and I really feel comfortable talking and opening up.
Barbara is very knowledgeable, supportive, and has a great sense of humor. I always feel comfortable talking to her, even about things that really upset me. She consistently has great insights and shares them with me in a way that doesn't make me feel stupid or ignorant. I always get pointed in the right direction and encouraged to go there, even if it's a bit scary. I will be just a bit a sad when I finally get my crap together because I won't see her anymore!
I am trying to be ok. You are helping. Some days are harder. The book is very enlightening while somber.
Barbara has truly been a God send to me. She is so incredibly supportive and I know she really gets me and truly is in it to help me. She means a lot to me as a therapist but also as a friend. I can't recommend her enough. She's amazing at what she does and has helped me tremendously.
she is the absolute B-E-S-T therapist I have ever worked with. We have some good laughs that help me through my hard moments. Her knowledge and explanations are so thorough and digestible. I feel so lucky to have her.
She has been great thus far.
Wow - what a blessing it has been to have Barbara in my corner. I sought out a person who could help me view my life through the lens of the faith that I follow and she has knowledge and personal experiences that benefit these conversations. She is very respectful of what I am open and ready to talk about and leaving the rest for the days and times that I are ready for it. She encourages me in ways to be a better mom and wife but not in performant or perfectionist ways but ways that are grace and space filled. My marriage and my family have both benefited from my weekly chats with Barbara. I believe whatever your faith or worldview that she would be a great asset for you. I learn new things about my brain and hormones and just about myself every week. Oh! And she puts up with my tech challenges. Thank you for all you do Barbara!
Barbara and I have been seeing each other for nearly two years now. She has been more accommodating, helpful, and compassionate than any mental health provider I've ever seen. I cannot recommend her or BetterHelp, which offers incredible flexibility for people with odd schedules, enough.
Barbara is the best therapist I have ever had. We've been working together for a while now. I trust her and love how non judgemental and supportive she is. She is a diamond in the rough type of therapist and really knows what she's doing.
She’s a lovely and caring woman. I’m so very thankful for how well she listens and remembers details about my life.
Barbara has been with me for almost 2 years, which is hard to believe. She's been with me through a boyfriend's deployment, doctoral school, the pandemic, heartbreak, having important belongings stolen in a break-in robbery, and anxiety-inducing professional presentations. She is the best counselor and I really value her opinion. I always feel like things will be ok after our sessions and talking about what's going on. Whatever betterhelp is paying her, she needs a raise to have dealt with so many of my issues for so long. I highly recommend her.
Barbara is an excellent therapist! She's been incredibly helpful. When we speak I truly feel heard and she's given me advice that I hold close to my heart and use regularly to help me in difficult times. She's kind, warm and I can tell she takes time to really understand where I'm coming from in her responses. She also provides useful prompts/worksheets which I find helpful. I highly recommend her if you are hesitant about therapy whatsoever. She was the second therapist I've ever had and my first experience didn't work out. She really gave me new hope and my only wish is that I'd started sessions with her sooner. If you're reading this, it's time. Barbara's got your back.
Barbara provides such wonderful encouragement and reminds my of my strengths and abilities to navigate difficult situations. She has given me wonderful ideas to try out and also insight into my current issue that I hadn't considered. I have gained so much through our work together. I highly recommend her!
Barbara Leigh is beyond professional when it comes to helping you with your challenges. She seeks to help you out with the best approaches that will help you make progress towards your life and does so with the utmost care and compassion. The best part of all is that she genuinely cares about you on a personal level, as she has always reached out to me to check and see how I am feeling and if my worries are getting better. Do not hesitate to meet with her because she has the skills and expertise that will crush your anxieties, challenges, fears, and much more, in order to live a better and happier life.
Very kind and insightful
I am not always available to log in and share what is going on, this leads me to forgetting to check in. Barbara is so great about reaching out and making sure I am doing okay. She provides articles, encouragement, and much needed advice that I feel like helps me move forward with my issues. I really appreciate her availability and her timely response. I am glad I was matched with her!
Barbara is great! I would highly recommend her!
Barbara is the best! She had so much professional experience throughout her career and it shows in the quality of her sessions. She always listens and is concerned about the things I'm dealing with. I highly recommend her!
Barbara is incredibly patient and wise. Her years of experience are immediately obvious as she offers a plethora of approaches.
I am very happy with her
Barbara is wonderful! She gives treat advice and responds to me in a timely manner. I always feel heard after my sessions. I would recommend her to everyone.
Barbara really gets to know where your coming from what you have endured and helps work yourself through it what ever it is. She's a wonderful counselor.
just one session , and the one step i took was hard. but i took it. and really for the first time. i think i knew the step was there, but something Barbara said gave me the confidence to take it. there is no explanation , or thanks big enough, when a stranger you only talked to once, just might be the reason I am still married, and want to stay that way. Her understanding of the autistic spectrum is tangable. really no words.
She’s the best
I love working with Barbara! She's kind and gives amazing guidance. She actually takes the time to respond and ask questions that really help dig deep and get to the root. I had worked with her when I was going through a tough time and I can honestly say I'm glad she was there to help. So thank you Barbara!
Barbara has helped me tremendously through good times and bad. It’s good to have somebody who knows what they are talking about if you are going through anything in life. The money I pay every month is an afterthought when I get to talk to Barbara weekly.
I shared this on social media to encourage others to use BetterHelp. Also, I shared it with my counselor, Barbara. I have found BetterHelp to be an incredible resource and I want people to use it! BetterHelp has changed my life tremendously. Depression and anxiety are real and the ‘woo woo’ around therapy and mental health is bull shit. Working with the right counselor is.
Barbara is an absolute gem to work with. She is so skilled, compassionate, and down to earth. She listens and offers great insight. I’m very grateful that I was paired with her!
She’s so sweet and listens.
She knows what she is doing. She's kind and very intelligent. I am not disappointed at all. I look forward to our sessions.
Barbara is a very kind hearted person who does her best.
Barbara can relate to my problems and knows the research surrounding my situation. It is a relief to finally find somebody who can keep my engaged with my journey to become and better person.
Barbara is awesome and has really helped me.
Barbara has been instrumental in helping through some difficult times as a result of a serious car accident. Her guidance and expertise on traumatic brain injuries has been instrumental in helping me understand what is going on and dealing with the frustration and depression as a result of the accident. While I am still healing, I am in such a better place to manage my life thanks to Barbara.
Barbara Leigh is a blend of authentic kindness, humility, her own life experiences, and knowledgeable in her field of psychology.
Barbara has great insight into what's going on with people and how to help. She's very kind and qualified and has a way of helping you get out if ur own way that is amazing.
Barbara is not only a great therapist but a great person. She has helped me to grow in a number of ways.
Barbara is the best therapist ever!!!
She is insightful and kind.
Barbara is amazing and has supported me through some of the most stressful times in my life. She keeps me grounded and reminds me I can get through anything. She gives me new perspectives. I'm not sure where I would be if she wasn't here rooting me on the past few years.
I am extremely appreciative of Barbara because I 100% feel like she understands what I am going through. Her words resonate with me and they don't feel like empty, canned phrases either. I truly feel like she understands and is then able to guide me with meaningful exercises and explain to me why I'm going through what I'm going through in a way that I can understand. I feel heard and I am just really appreciative of her attitude and her words.
She is a good listener and comes to you with advice to start helping you to talk and work through things. She goes at your speed.
I cannot say enough how much I appreciate Barbara’s help and guidance. She has helped me through some difficult situations, providing just what I needed to stop negative cycles and self doubt to take over. I highly recommend Barbara!
She’s amazing!
She’s amazing.
Barbara is simply fantastic. My sessions with her have yielded benefits in every aspect of my life and I can’t thank her enough for helping me in so many different areas.
Barbara is extremely understanding and committed. She is insightful and has a genuine caring. She has a way of communicating your issues in a way even u aren't fully understanding. I'm looking forward to finding more time to get the full benefits of her expertise and help.
Barbara listens and addresses ALL of my thoughts, feelings and concerns like no other conselor I have ever had before. She gives constructive criticism in a way that speaks to me on a level that I won’t blow it off. I highly respect what she has to say about every situation and would recommend her to anyone of my friends.
Love Barbara! She's been a great support :)
Dr. Leigh has been wonderful. She has listened to me when I felt like I was dumping everything in my head on her. The experience has helped me considerably.
She gives thoughtful responses and helpful incite. The validation she gives of my experiences has been truly helpful.
Barbara is an amazing counselor! Since the very first session I was impressed by her ability to ask just the right questions and get to the point as well as offering hands-on exercises to practice at home in between sessions. She really made me feel at my ease and I appreciated that she was able to connect deeply with me and speak my own language (e.g. metaphors related to ballet) :-) We have been working on so many areas of my life including: violence, abuse, low self-esteem, life major changes, depression and suicidal thoughts, anxiety, overthinking, false self, sexual identity, orgasmic dysfunction, family issues, professional identity, empowerment, minor health issues... Counselling has been valuable to change the way I think, consider new perspectives and get insights from a true professional! I now feel better equipped at facing life challenges, more powerful, relaxed, and mindful. Thank you Barbara!
Barbara was very easy to talk with - a very good listener. As I presented my issues, she was very helpful in directing me to see other options, and or views to a solution that would benefit me. I am thankful for her expertise and time.
She is absolutely amazing! She continues to support me with so much wisdom and care. I feel like her words guide me while I go out through my day. I feel blessed to be under her care.
Barbara is very kind and non-judgemental, and helps me look for solutions to problems.
Barbara is a kind, genuine and empathetic soul who is a keen listener. She is calm and patient with her clients. Barbara asks thoughtful questions that challenge her clients to think deeper and dive into topics. I have experienced quite a lot of change over the last year and Barbara has been there each step of the way. I am so grateful for her help and I know that I can reach out to her at any time and I will receive insightful and trustworthy advice.
I love her so much and I feel so bad that I put so much emotional baggage on her but she makes me feel better!!
Barbara Leigh is a wonderful counselor! She puts my mind at ease and has given me things to think about regarding myself and the people in my life. She validated my feelings of stress and frustration, as well as loss and hope.
Barbara is a very good counselor and I highly recommend her to others.
Barbara has been a great help, and I always feel that I have a listening ear. Thank you.
Barbara is very helpful. Didn't take long for her to see things from my perspective which was a relief. She seemed to validate my feelings before giving me insight to things, which is what I was searching for in that awful moment. Thank you again
The first counselor I've been able to open up with and feel comfortable talking to :)
She is very helpful and understands your needs. It's her professional experience and expertise along with her wisdom that brings out the best in you. She is a great counselor!
Barbara Leigh's words helped me through many difficult days. She helped me keep calm in many situations and be more confident and stand up for what I want and believe in and face my fears. Although I don't write very regularly, I find that every time I do I am left with a better understanding of myself and my surrounding. Thank you.
Barbara was an amazing therapist. She went above and beyond on listening to me and answering questions I had. She understood me so well and was patient and kind.
Barbara is real insightful and offered me thought provoking help nearly right away.
I never thought that online therapy will help much, but it did actually . Having someone understand you and help you to get through things in your life is amazing. Thank you Barbara
Barbara is great at gleaning my concerns and gently pointing me in the right direction. Sooooo helpful!
She listens to my problems and helps me see things from a different perspective
Barbara is a very proactive counselor who follows up with suggestions for actionable steps to help.
Barbara is very insightful, intuitive, and a great writer. While I don't think we've gone too deep into any one issue, she is very empathetic and personable. Responses were very often the first week and have tapered off to about once a week correspondence that mainly ask me follow up questions about my emails.
I have found Barbara very easy to talk to. She is quick to respond to my emails and offers great advice. :-)
After some two weeks she managed to change my perspective on few things critical to me. I feel the progress.
Barbara has helped me understand myself and take my time to be confident and resolve the issues I've had.
Barbara was amazing and so helpful in a dark time. She is so wise, patient and understanding. She helped me work through some emotions and let go of some stuff, so I could move on with my life. I'm feeling much better after having her guidance and support. She really knows how to ask the right questions that help you see things from a different perspective. Highly recommend her for dealing with depression, grief or guilt.
Barbara has been an absolute delight to work with over the last 3 months. Her responses are always extremely thorough, well thought out, and easy to understand while always provide insight back to your concerns. She has a wonderful way of providing alternative views to your thoughts and thought process. All while being compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with anxiety and/or depression.
Barbara is awesome! She helps me ask myself the right questions, and pushes me gently in the direction I need to be going. She's helped me develop self-confidence and efficacy. I feel more sure of myself and ready to action because of Barbara's support.
She is amazing in listening to what you have to say and guiding you in a direction that you had not thought of. I love the listening skills and letting you get what you have off your chest. She is a great help that I recommend to anyone.
Amazing counselor, very insightful and helped me with my issues.
Barbara employed her vast knowledge and experience immediately to me and my situation and I felt that she understood. That is powerful and rare for such a short period of time. Can't speak highly enough of Barbara Leigh or Better Help.
Barbara has been great! Very understanding and offers insight from different perspectives, which is what I needed!
Barbara is a great person. I have a serious relationship problem which I think I will never get over it or a very long time to recover. However, consulting with Barbara gives me a different point of view. Her knowledge, wisdom, empathy and patience are leading me out of this dark time. I strongly recommend Barbara when you have problems with relationship, especially break-up ones.
Barbara has been very helpful, asking good probing questions, and helping guide me through some challenging issues. She was always quick to respond, positive and upbeat, but realistic.
Barbara had been extremely helpful to me. I have been battling many obstacles in the last couple years and she has been so kind and patient. I appreciate the feedback and wisdom she offers and especially the questions she asks that make me dive deeper. I recommend Barbara to anyone who is having difficulty in sorting out their life's path and getting on track to their future. She has been such a delight to work with! Thank you Barbara for all your help!
Barbara is amazing! She really listens to what you're saying and gives advice/thoughts on the situation in a positive helping way.
Barbara has been phenomenal. I absolutely love the positivity and energy she brings to my life! She's an excellent listener and provides invaluable feedback and suggestions which have improved and impacted my life immeasurably. She has a great wealth of knowledge, wisdom, empathy and patience, which makes her a leader in her field. Her words and praise bring me comfort and hope while challenging me to be an ever-improving version of myself. I couldn't recommend another professional more highly.
Barbara is kind, approachable, and asks the right questions to get me thinking, feeling, and behaving in a better way.
Barbara has been invaluable as a counselor. She has been able to provide not only an ear to vent my doubts, but a mouth to tell me that it is all part of who I am. I merely sought her initially to provide some reason for my thoughts, but she has given me tools to fight those terrible thoughts.
