Getting to know Kirby Barkley

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, and burnout, and I run BNB Counseling with a simple belief at its core: you can start feeling better right where you are today. My approach draws on mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and behavioral techniques, offering practical tools grounded in genuine self-understanding. Many of my clients come to me feeling depleted, overextended, or stuck in familiar patterns. Together, we work on building awareness, developing healthier coping strategies, and creating space for real change at a pace that feels sustainable and manageable. I offer telehealth sessions, which means quality care fits into your schedule, wherever you are in Florida. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can start where you are and move toward where you want to be.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me tends to feel more like a genuine conversation than a clinical exercise. I take a mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and behavioral approach, which means we'll spend time building awareness of your patterns while also developing practical tools you can use between sessions. I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative, so I'll regularly check in with you about what's helping and what isn't, and adjust as we go. You can expect a steady, non-judgmental space where difficult topics are welcome and self-criticism isn't required to make progress. Some sessions may include mindfulness or grounding exercises; others may be more conversational, depending on what you need that week. Above all, I want you to feel like an active participant in your own care, not just a recipient of it.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work usually begins with an initial session where we explore what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any patterns you'd like to understand or shift. From there, sessions typically follow a rhythm of checking in on the week, exploring what's coming up, and practicing tools like mindfulness, cognitive reframing, or behavioral strategies as they're useful. I tend to weave structure and flexibility together, so some sessions are more exploratory while others focus on specific skills. All sessions are held via telehealth, giving you a consistent, private space to do this work from wherever fits your schedule.
