Hi! My name is Daria Barksdale and I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a yoga instructor. I received my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgia State University. I've been counseling for 6 years now. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management for children, teens, and adults. I've worked in a crisis center, in the school system, with the Department of Social Services, as well as with private practices.

Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.

Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.

These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —

They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.

Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.

You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.

I specialize in:

• OCD and intrusive thought spirals
• Anxiety that shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or constant second-guessing, emotional eating
• Codependent relationship dynamics
• Navigating old-school family dynamics without shrinking yourself

People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.

If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.
