Barbara George , LCMHC

Barbara George is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Weber State University. Her training and clinical experience include work in hospital emergency rooms, medical floors, and inpatient behavioral health units, giving her a broad background in acute and ongoing mental health care.

For a decade she co-facilitated grief support groups for families who experienced the death of a loved one, an experience that informs her approach to loss and bereavement. Barbara’s preferred methods with individuals emphasize client-centered and solution-focused work, and she regularly incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people regain balance and cope with difficult emotions.

At the core of her practice is a commitment to offering a healing, growth-oriented space where each person identifies the goals they want to pursue. Barbara partners with clients to explore barriers, build practical skills, and apply therapeutic tools that address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, trauma, and other life challenges.

Combining Evidence-Based Approaches with Online Access

Barbara George integrates client-centered methods that prioritize the individual’s perspective and goals, creating a collaborative environment where the person’s values and choices shape the work. This approach is helpful for many concerns, including relationship challenges, parenting issues, and navigating life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges. Mindfulness therapy is included as well, offering techniques to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and resilience after trauma or loss.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Barbara works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy makes those options accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, easier access from home or work, and the ability to integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
