Dale Barrett, LPC, LCPC

Dale Barrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping people find steady ground again. She guides conversations that clarify what feels out of control and what matters most to the client. Sessions aim to help people set practical goals and take manageable steps toward them.

Her approach centers on working together as a team. Dale listens without judgment and helps people name feelings and patterns. From there she helps build a plan that fits the person’s life and needs.

Over 30 years she has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also works with issues such as anger, self-esteem, career changes, and relationship stress. Traumatic brain injury is listed among her focus areas when it relates to a person’s current concerns.

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach new coping skills. Client-centered methods and acceptance and commitment ideas help people clarify values and stay motivated. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationship patterns affect current life.

Dale holds LPC and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credentials in multiple states and practices from Wisconsin. She speaks English and is available to work with international clients when arrangements permit. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

How Dale’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small steps toward those values. It can be useful when a person feels stuck after loss or life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how they affect current reactions, which can be helpful when relationship habits or attachment issues cause distress.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust as progress is made. That shared decision-making helps match techniques to what actually helps in daily life.

Specific session formats were not listed in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a hectic day. It also lets people use tools like worksheets or skill practice during a session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote work so clients build coping skills and track small steps between meetings.
