About Barbara
Barbara Doll is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker with 25 years of clinical and mediation experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, family conflict, and parenting concerns. Barbara also works with issues such as divorce and separation, domestic violence, and struggles around life purpose.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions focus on identifying immediate problems, building coping strategies, and improving communication. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help ground people during moments of panic and intense anxiety. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change substance use or other habitual behaviors by strengthening their own reasons for change. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds during sessions.
Barbara frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to create a plan that reflects their priorities and day-to-day realities. Sessions tend to be practical, with concrete steps to try between meetings and time to talk through setbacks when they happen.
Her background in mediation also informs how she helps with communication and blended family issues. People often come for help sorting conflict, rebuilding routines after separation, or deciding what matters next in work and family life.
Approaches used in online sessions
Barbara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping people try different ways of thinking and testing what changes. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity during panic attacks or high anxiety.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and on Motivational Interviewing when someone is weighing change, such as reducing substance use. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together, and she will discuss options based on each persons needs, goals, and preferences.
