Barbara Droy

Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and changes that shake daily life. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and intimacy-related or relationship concerns.

Her style is client-centered and faith-informed. She listens first and follows the client's pace, then suggests practical steps when helpful. Early sessions focus on clear, simple goals by asking what the client will notice when counseling helps.

Barbara's background includes counseling in intensive outpatient settings, school counseling, adoption-related work, and support after pregnancy loss. She has worked with children and adults in homes and offices, and with people across a wide range of mental health concerns. She brings lived experience as a divorced parent and as the parent of a person in recovery.

Sessions aim to use time efficiently and to fit around clients' schedules when possible. Barbara says she will try to accommodate alternate times when needed and values straightforward communication about goals and progress. Her Louisiana LPC credential is maintained in keeping with state requirements.

She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, dialectical behavior ideas, and client-centered conversations. These approaches are used to support coping skills, clarify values, manage symptoms, and develop clearer communication and problem solving.
