Barbara Kass, LCPC

Barbara Kass is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on codependency, dependent personality, life purpose, and women's issues.

Barbara describes counseling as a collaborative process. She helps people talk through what feels stuck and figure out practical next steps. Sessions often include talking, reflection, and skills practice like breathing and mindfulness exercises.

Her approach pulls from client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. She also uses existential and Jungian ideas when those perspectives help a person make sense of meaning and identity. Narrative techniques and expressive writing are part of the toolkit for working through painful memories and difficult decisions.

Barbara has worked in hospitals, clinics, private practice, and county services. She has postgraduate study from Loyola University and a background in pastoral counseling, so discussions about spiritual or religious concerns are welcome when relevant to someone's goals.

People who want clear steps and opportunities to practice new ways of responding often find her style helpful. She combines short-term skills work with deeper reflection about life purpose and patterns that repeat in relationships. To start, she asks questions about current struggles and what a better day would look like.
