Barbara Belanger

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over 25 years of experience working with adults, teens, children, couples and families. I have dedicated my career to assisting people in navigating life's challenges and embracing positive change. My approach to counseling is a unique blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, humor, education, genuineness, warmth, empowerment and encouragement .

My approach combines evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of human psychology. I firmly believe in the power of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) to reshape negative thought patterns and behaviors. I prioritize empowering you with knowledge about mental health, coping strategies, and the science behind the therapeutic skills that you will learn . I believe humor can promote healing, offering a fresh perspective that encourages you to face challenges with renewed optimism.

• In our sessions, you'll find that I'm genuine and down-to-earth. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, and I'll meet you with empathy and understanding. I'm a strong advocate for empowerment, which means I'll guide you in recognizing your strengths and developing skills to navigate life's challenges. I will often assign homework to do between sessions. These assignments are designed to enhance the work we do in therapy and provide you with practical tools to apply in your daily life.
