Getting to know Denis Barron

Hi there - I'm Denis, a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist located in San Francisco, CA. I help people regain a sense of control in their lives so they are back in the driver's seat. Whether it's individual work on difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression, or family and couples work focused on improving the quality of relationships. Let's find a way to get true, calm control. I use a CBT focus to help individuals reduce the power of anxiety, depression, stress, and anger so they can regain control and feel calm and confident. We work together to develop and practice easily accessible and practical skills that will quickly shift difficult experiences to ones that are more tolerable or even pleasant. With families and couples, I use a systems focus to practice practical skill based ways to work with everyone involved to change a system to one that benefits everyone. We move away from an individual focus and work as a team. Many hands makes lighter work. With couples I use a blend of CBT and Gottman Method skills. With families, I use Structural Family Therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work to find a balance with everyone I work with in being sure I understand you and your unique circumstances, and that you feel heard and truly understood. It's important that you feel comfortable, and as though I am fully invested and have your best interests truly at heart. Once this happens, we will work together to find rapid relief from distress.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our sessions I work to be sure that we are always aligned on goals, methods to get there, and the "why." This way you can more easily replicate these things outside of the therapy office, where it is most important! We will practice skills to notice and change problematic emotions or conflict together, at your pace, so you feel the change happen and understand how and why things are changing for the better. Under these conditions, you're more likely to be successful outside of session in implementing skills or new behaviors. I will also offer and encourage activities in between our contact that are related to our goals so we are being efficient and finding change rapidly. Once you begin to see the changes you came in for, we will make a plan for discharge when you're ready.
