I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University. I have been working in private practice for over 10 years, helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

My areas of specialization include trauma and couples counseling, and I have a particular passion for working with women. I understand that women often carry many different roles and responsibilities, and sometimes lose sight of their own needs in the process. I enjoy helping women work through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many unexpected circumstances that can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Barbara Duran

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


When stress starts to build, it can affect more than just your day-to-day life. It can impact your mood, your energy, and your relationships. I work with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and burnout. Many of my clients are used to juggling responsibilities, caring for others, and pushing through difficult seasons until they realize they're no longer feeling like themselves. You might feel constantly overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or like you can’t fully “turn off” your mind. At the same time, stress can begin to show up in your relationships through miscommunication, distance, or frustration, making it harder to feel connected and supported.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rockford

Searching for therapists in Rockford starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Rockford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their experience, communication style, and what to expect in sessions.

In a mid-sized city like Rockford, your best fit may be near Riverside, Coronado, East State, or available through virtual sessions. In-person therapy can be helpful if you prefer a set office location, while virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes or local options are limited. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Rockford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and see your estimated costs before booking.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
