About Charlar
She holds a master’s degree in counseling and a PsyD in Grief Counseling. The master’s degree reflects graduate-level training in counseling theory and practice, while the PsyD is a doctoral degree focused on clinical work with people experiencing loss and bereavement. As an Army veteran and the author of "Losing Myself, Funding Me: The journey of survival, strength, and the courage to embrace your authentic self," she brings particular insight into veteran and armed forces issues as well as multicultural and women’s concerns.
Barnes draws on approaches that prioritize the client’s perspective to address compassion fatigue, self-esteem, body image, communication and commitment challenges, career questions, and life purpose. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and she encourages clients who take the first step toward therapy, recognizing that beginning care often takes considerable courage.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Charlar Barnes integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and responding with empathy so clients can lead the pace and focus of sessions; it is often helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and exploring life purpose. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems like anxiety and stress and uses practical strategies to shift those patterns. Motivational interviewing helps people explore their own motivations and build readiness for change, which can be useful for career shifts, commitment concerns, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client regularly evaluate progress and adjust techniques to stay aligned with evolving priorities.
Online therapy with Charlar Barnes offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
