Barbara Droy , LPC

Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She combines professional training with personal insight as a divorced mother of five, a grandmother of six, and the parent of a recovering addict, perspectives that inform her compassionate, practical approach to care.

Over the course of her career she has worked with children and adults across a variety of settings, including intensive outpatient programs (IOP), in-home and office-based services, adoption counseling, and post-abortion support. Her clinical work has addressed anxiety and stress, abuse in children, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, grief, parenting and family conflicts, addictions, and school-based counseling roles.

Barbara uses a faith-based, collaborative, client-centered model that adapts to each person’s needs. She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems - to tailor interventions and help clients move toward clearer goals. In early sessions she emphasizes practical outcomes by exploring how clients will recognize progress and what concrete changes they hope to see.

Known for respecting clients' time and working efficiently, Barbara concentrates on clear, goal-oriented work while remaining responsive to each individual's pace and priorities. Her practice addresses a broad spectrum of life challenges, from relationship and family problems to career concerns, trauma, and issues related to adoption and caregiving.
