About Barbara
Dr. Barbara Wasowska greets people who are tired of feeling stuck in relationships, anxiety, grief, or low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take clear steps toward feeling better.
Dr. Wasowska holds an MD and practices as an LCPC in Maryland and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, and mood struggles like depression and anxiety.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career shifts, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of aging. Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress, and women’s issues. In sessions she uses straightforward therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused conversation, and elements from dialectical and client-centered approaches.
Sessions are practical and oriented to daily life. She helps people learn skills for panic, stress, and handling big life changes. Her style is respectful and sensitive.
She tailors conversation and plans to each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method. People can expect clear goals, exercises to practice between sessions, and steady check-ins on progress. Dr.
Wasowska offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for people in Maryland who prefer remote formats. Her approach aims to fit therapy to a person’s schedule and needs, making ongoing work easier to maintain.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions teach practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build alternative habits, which is useful for panic attacks, mood disorders, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use tone and body language. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and make it simple to share progress notes or homework between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and keep therapeutic work consistent.
