About Barbara
Barbara Moorehead is a Louisiana psychologist (LA Psychologist 1034) with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Her work also covers health-related issues, military and first responder concerns, and a range of mood and adjustment problems.
Barbara focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Sessions are straightforward and aim to identify small steps that can reduce worry and improve daily functioning.
Over her career she has worked with people facing blended family challenges, caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, and communication problems. She also has experience with substance use, family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS matters, and multicultural concerns. That background helps when complex life events overlap with mood or stress concerns.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and develop coping skills. In sessions she will talk through specific situations, practice ways to respond differently, and track progress over time. The focus is on skills that can be put into practice between visits.

Using evidence-based techniques in online sessions
Barbara works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable skills and coping strategies. One approach emphasizes learning specific tools to manage anxiety and stress, such as identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative responses. This is useful for people who want concrete ways to reduce worry in social situations.Another common technique she uses involves behavioral methods - setting small, manageable steps to face feared situations and build confidence over time. This helps when avoidance or fear of being watched or judged is getting in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach usually happens together. She will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process helps match methods to what a person actually needs and can practice between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in her biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins that support steady progress. If someone prefers a shorter check-in, lower bandwidth option, or needs to avoid being on camera, discuss those needs when arranging sessions so they can be planned to fit daily routines.
