Dale Barrett, LPC, LCPC

Dale Barrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of clinical experience. She combines practical, person-centered work with clear steps so people can regain a sense of direction. Her approach focuses on identifying what feels out of control and then moving toward realistic goals at a steady pace.

She draws on several brief, skill-based methods to help people cope with anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions often include learning new ways to manage strong emotions, building daily routines, and practicing mindfulness exercises that are easy to use between meetings. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

Barrett has long experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also addresses addiction, mood disorders, and relationship struggles, while helping with anger, career concerns, and self-esteem. Her additional focus includes aging and geriatric issues and attachment-related difficulties.

Her work emphasizes practical steps - clarifying what matters, setting small goals, and testing new behaviors. She aims to help people notice what works and adjust plans as needed. This makes therapy feel like a collaborative effort rather than a one-way process.

Dale holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Wisconsin. She adapts her style to fit each person’s needs and preferences. If someone wants clear strategies alongside supportive listening, she offers both in a straightforward, down-to-earth manner.

How different approaches work in online therapy

Dale uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and practice small steps in the direction of those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where motivation or direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers concrete tools for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and obsessive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan based on real progress and feedback.

Therapists can teach practical coping skills, guide mindfulness practices, and work through thinking patterns in regular meetings that fit into everyday routines.
