About Barbara Droy
Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience who is licensed in Louisiana (LA LPC 4456). She brings both professional depth and personal insight to her work, drawing on years of counseling across settings and lived experience as a divorced mother of five, a grandmother of six, and the parent of an adult in recovery. Her background includes treating children and adults in intensive outpatient programs, providing care in home and office settings, and offering adoption and post-abortion counseling. She has worked with anxiety and stress, abused children, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and currently has experience as a school counselor.
Barbara uses a faith-based, collaborative, client-centered orientation and adapts interventions to fit each person she works with. Early sessions focus on defining goals by asking practical questions about how the client will notice progress and what will be different as therapy moves forward. She emphasizes efficient use of session time, respects clients for seeking help, and tailors treatment to individual needs with approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and other trauma-informed methods.
Throughout her career she has addressed a broad range of issues including stress, grief, parenting and family conflicts, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, career difficulties, and caregiver stress. She has also provided support for life transitions, panic and anxiety, and women's and young adult issues. She has historically offered flexible scheduling and multiple modes of communication to meet client needs. She is not accepting new clients.

Evidence-informed approaches available through online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and validation - this approach often helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and parenting challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking patterns and builds concrete skills for managing symptoms, making it a common choice for anxiety, mood disorders, and panic concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barbara collaborates with each person to identify goals, assesses what methods fit best, and adapts interventions based on the client’s needs, preferences, and progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor care so that therapy feels practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate geographic distance, and maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, skill-building exercises, and ongoing support in ways that suit different lifestyles and needs.
