Joseph Barry is a great listener, but more importantly, he asks questions that make me think. He’s attentive to my specific concerns, and he’s also personable and fun. I enjoy that he offers challenges for the week ahead. I like overcoming challenges, personally. So that works very well for me.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I help people to identify their goals, overcome obstacles, meet challenges, and thrive. I take an active and engaged role with my clients by asking questions, offering alternative perspectives, and suggesting new ways of thinking about issues that may be getting in the way of living a more satisfying life. I have 10 years working with people dealing with depression anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, and relationship experiences. I have served on Active Duty in the Air Force and enjoy working with military members and their family. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, transgender, and LGBT community. I utilize individual, family, and couples counseling as appropriate. I customize my treatment to meet the needs and goals of the individual and/or family dynamic.
My treatment approach is client centered. My belief is that all clients are unique and therefore, I work towards making all my clients feel comfortable and understood. I am very warm and caring and find that building a trusting relationship between client and counselor is truly the foundation of a successful counseling relationship. I am trained in in psychodynamic, solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Because no two clients are alike, I work to form a treatment plan in coordination with the client so that we can have the most successful counseling relationship possible.
Congratulations on taking the first step in a therapeutic relationship. It takes courage to take the first step and seek counseling. I look forward to beginning a rewarding therapeutic relationship with my clients.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Awesome therapist! He really listens to every word and gives sound advice.
Joe is incredibly insightful, compassionate, and articulate. He is anyways able to help me see the different angles to problems that I'm trying to solve and he challenges me to be the best for myself. A true man of healing.
In the short time that I have received help from Joseph, I have had such a supportive and wonderful experience. Joseph is relatable and funny. He is understanding, helps me recognize unhealthy thinking patterns, and provides me with productive feedback to encourage and facilitate my growth. I am grateful to have Joseph as my counselor and would highly recommend him to anyone. I look forward to continuing services with him.
Joseph Barry literally changed my life in the best ways possible. He is the reason I talk so highly of therapy, I credit the space he holds for me as an integral part of my growth and success.
Insightful and thorough. Patient in communication while also being able to offer important advice and provide clarity.
I feel very lucky to be able to work with Joseph. He listens compassionately and offers different perspectives on what I’m going through. He gives me healthy food for thought consistently.
Joseph Barry, Understand where my thoughts coming from & reasons. Joseph encouraged me to think through issues
I've had a number of interactions with Joseph now, and I have been impressed with how quickly he has been able to understand some really complicated family issues I've been struggling with. He has been a great listener, and has helped me stay on a productive path. I started my sessions with a specific topic in mind and wasn't sure how long I would stick with counseling. Now I plan to continue beyond my initial purpose just for me.
He was really great! Very smart and super helpful for me. I’ve never had counselling before but I am very glad I started
I love him!
