Hello, my name is Leigh Anne Barber and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) based in Texas with 20+ years in the mental health field helping clients statewide via telehealth find successful ways to navigate through a variety of life circumstances. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, and couples specializing in anxiety issues, stress management, relationship issues, and trauma support, using many different counseling techniques to help each client feel heard and understood to begin healing.
My approach
My approach to counseling varies based on my client's needs. I believe that through a sense of belonging, we learn who we are and who we can become; we learn our true identity. I offer a unique and authentic counseling approach listening to and supporting you without judgement. I provide a safe space for you to be open and assist in developing emotional balance to help you handle life's challenges.
My focus
In order to thrive we need to feel connected to family and community. Therapy is an incredibly helpful way to learn how to deal with relationship problems, anxiety issues, stress management and trauma. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, and couples. I approach each client with acceptance, empathy, and compassion to understand and connect with their experiences, so you feel heard.
My communication style
My communication style is to offer a unique and authentic counseling approach listening to and supporting you without judgement. I provide a safe space for you to be open and assist you in developing emotional balance to ensure you can handle life's challenges. Together we will develop tools and goals to get you closer to where you want to be.
My journey to mental healthcare
I always knew I wanted to help people feel better and decided I wanted to become a counselor during my first year of teaching. I have always enjoyed building trusting relationships and helping people get through the many different obstacles that life throws our way. I truly enjoy seeing people heal and helping them through the process.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is for the counselor and client to work together as a team in order to allow for the best outcome. One of my primary goals is to equip clients with the skills and knowledge needed to continue working through issues after therapy ends.
My first session with you
Our first session together will give you time to let me know you and see what you want to achieve from counseling. We will spend most of the time talking about you and how you have been feeling. We will begin building a connection so you will feel comfortable discussing any topics of concern.
