Yulia Roe, LCSW, MRT
Stephanie Barbour (LPC, LSATP, CSAC) is a licensed professional counselor and licensed substance abuse provider with 20+ years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse field, working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families in various settings. Areas of specialty include substance abuse, depression, stress, work-life balance, and anxiety. How do your own core values shape your approach to care? Values give us insight into who we really are. Values give our life meaning and purpose. Knowing what our values are and sticking to them leads to higher self-confidence, solid self-esteem, and a healthy sense of self. Values allow us to make good decisions and have a sense of direction, meaning, and purpose in life. My style is proactive, skill-based, creative, and solution-focused; I consider myself to be direct but supportive, encouraging without harassing, and active over passive.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
ome therapists focus on the past, but I focus on how to make improvements today and in the future. I want you to see improvements and not be dependent on the therapy process. My style is proactive, skill-based, creative, and solution-focused; I consider myself to be direct but supportive, encouraging without harassing, and active over passive. I use a good deal of humor in my work and encourage others to laugh at themselves at times. My style depends on the needs of the client as they present.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a popular form of therapy that is used by therapists to help individuals change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Therapists typically use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to develop strategies for coping more effectively in difficult situations. During CBT sessions, therapists may use a variety of techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and relaxation exercises, to help clients work through their issues. They also teach clients how to monitor their thoughts and emotions and how to develop more positive coping strategies. Therapists who use CBT often work collaboratively with their clients to set goals and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to each individual's specific needs. They also help clients develop skills that they can use outside of therapy to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. Overall, therapists use CBT to help clients better understand how their thoughts and behaviors are connected and to help them make positive changes in their lives. By teaching clients new ways of thinking and coping, therapists can help clients overcome their challenges and improve their mental health.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on improving communication and interpersonal relationships. It is based on the idea that current and past relationships play a significant role in a person's mental health and well-being. The therapist helps the client identify and change unhealthy patterns of communication and behavior that may be causing distress. Interpersonal therapy typically involves identifying and resolving conflicts, improving communication skills, setting boundaries, and developing healthy coping mechanisms. The goal of the therapy is to improve the client's relationships and overall quality of life.
Compassion Focused
Compassion focused therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on developing compassion for oneself and others. It is based on the idea that individuals can benefit from nurturing a sense of kindness, understanding, and acceptance towards themselves and others. This approach aims to help individuals cultivate a compassionate mindset through various techniques such as mindfulness, imagery, and self-compassion exercises. By fostering a sense of compassion, individuals can learn to be kinder to themselves, manage difficult emotions, and build healthier relationships. Compassion-focused therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with shame, self-criticism, and low self-esteem.
Strength-Based
Strength based perspective is an approach to social work and counseling that focuses on identifying and building upon an individual's strengths and resources rather than focusing solely on their problems and deficits. This approach emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals to utilize their strengths to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. By recognizing and highlighting an individual's strengths, practitioners can help promote positive change, increase self-confidence, and improve overall well-being.
