About Barbara

Barbara Kass is a Maryland-based therapist with an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credential. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career challenges, and major life changes. She also offers support for compassion fatigue, codependency, dependent personality concerns, life purpose, and women's issues.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She combines talking therapy with breathing, mindfulness, and expressive writing so people can try tools right away. Barbara draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to untangle thought patterns that keep problems stuck. She also brings existential and Jungian perspectives when people want to examine meaning, identity, or deeper themes in their lives.

These methods are used to help clients find clearer choices and a stronger sense of direction. Her background includes work in hospitals, clinics, county services, and independent practice. That range informs a flexible way of working that adapts to daily life demands and paced recovery from difficult experiences.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat, or messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches for online work and flexible care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's experience guides the work; it helps when people need a listening presence and a chance to make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy offers breathing and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping during hard times.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. That may mean starting with practical CBT tools, adding mindfulness exercises, or exploring deeper meaning with an existential or Jungian lens as needed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, try short coping strategies, or have a quick follow-up without a full appointment. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid work, family, and other commitments.
