About Barbara Droy
Barbara Droy is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience who brings both clinical training and personal insight to her work. She holds an LPC, which is a professional license to practice counseling in Louisiana, and has provided care across a range of settings including intensive outpatient programs, in-home work, office-based care, and school counseling. Her clinical background includes adoption counseling, post-abortion counseling, support for abused children, and treatment for anxiety, stress, depression, and bipolar disorder.
Barbara draws on a client-centered, faith-informed collaborative style that prioritizes each person’s values and goals. She adapts interventions to meet individual needs and invites clients to define measurable signs of progress by asking questions such as “how will you know counseling has been helpful” and “what will be different”. This approach allows goals to emerge from the client’s priorities while the therapist offers guidance and gentle direction when it may be useful.
Her lifetime experience as a divorced mother of five, grandmother of six, and as the parent of a recovering addict informs her empathy and practical perspective when working with families, caregivers, and individuals facing addiction or relationship challenges. Barbara emphasizes efficient, respectful use of session time and a flexible schedule, offering whatever mode of communication best fits the client’s needs. She values direct collaboration to set realistic goals and to track meaningful change over time.
