Philicia Barbieri, LMHC, LPC

Philicia Barbieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Pennsylvania and works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship concerns, and codependency patterns.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking, motivational interviewing to strengthen reasons for change, and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity. These approaches are used alongside trauma-focused techniques when past experiences are affecting the present.

Philicia has background in crisis counseling, community-based programs, and group therapy. That experience shapes a style that focuses on clear goals and small, step-by-step adjustments. She also integrates mindfulness practices and breathing exercises to support emotional regulation and relapse prevention.

In work with relationship concerns Philicia helps individuals identify patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or staying connected without losing themselves. She talks through communication challenges and supports people who want to build steadier, more balanced relationships.

People who come for recovery or addiction-related concerns will find sessions that address both substance use and the emotional triggers behind it. Philicia combines practical coping strategies with trauma-informed processing when painful memories are part of the picture. She asks about goals early and revisits them often to keep therapy focused.
