Barbara Thomas

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Greetings, my name is Barbara Thomas. Maybe stress won’t let up, anxiety keeps you on edge, grief hasn’t had room to breathe, or you’re ready to change your relationship with alcohol or drugs. Whatever it is, I’m here to help you find your balance again. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Cleveland State University and my Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, with a Business Administration focus. I’ve worked in home-based services, hospitals, residential programs, and virtual settings. There I’ve supported children, teens, adults, and older adults through addiction, homelessness, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, family and relationship challenges, and major life transitions. That range has taught me that no two journeys look the same, and that everyone deserves a space where they feel respected and heard.

Therapist

It takes real courage to decide you want something to change. Over 28 years, across military

installations, shelters, and community agencies, I have watched people discover capacities

for growth they did not know they had. I believe relationships are the engine of that change:

our brains and bodies are wired for connection, and healing happens in relationship. I create

a space of safety, respect, and authenticity, where you bring the expertise of your own life

and story, and I bring my clinical experience to support the process. I would be honored to

work alongside you.

I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.
