Getting to know Barbara McGhee

Hi there, I'm Barbara! My name is Barbara McGhee, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Saint Louis University. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their challenges through a compassionate and client-centered approach. My primary focus is on cognitive behavioral therapy, which I enhance with my background in hypnotherapy to provide tailored therapeutic suggestions that promote lasting change. Together, we will work to identify your goals and develop effective strategies to empower you on your journey to emotional well-being. My approach I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns to foster healthier behaviors and emotional responses. I also incorporate hypnotherapy to enhance relaxation and facilitate access to the subconscious, allowing for more effective treatment of underlying issues. This integrative approach empowers clients with tailored strategies to achieve lasting change and improved mental well-being. My focus My ideal clients are individuals struggling with mood disorders and open to exploring and reframing their thought patterns. I feel most comfortable working with those ready to challenge faulty beliefs and seeking a fresh perspective on their experiences. Together, we will develop strategies to promote emotional well-being and foster healthier thinking, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life. My communication style My communication style as a therapist is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring their thoughts and feelings. During sessions, I encourage open dialogue and actively listen to your concerns, fostering trust and understanding. Together, we will identify ways for you to be an active participant in your therapy journey, empowering you to take ownership of your progress.
