About Barbara Mutagamba
Barbara Mutagamba, LCSW, CSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Social Worker), brings a compassionate, pragmatic approach to therapy and five years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Barbara creates individualized treatment plans that integrate evidence-informed methods and a client-centered stance, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals. She strives to be a clear and compassionate partner in the therapeutic process, offering insight, tools, and a warm, approachable style. She views beginning therapy as an act of courage and seeks to help people find hope, regain agency, and cultivate deeper connection with themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Barbara uses several evidence-informed approaches to support healing and change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and learn flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection formed in relationships, exploring how early and current attachment experiences shape trust, intimacy, and relationship responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Barbara collaborates with each person to discover what fits best. She adapts methods to match a client’s goals, preferences, and life context, working together to set priorities, test new skills, and evaluate progress.
Online therapy adds practical flexibility to this work. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and accessibility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to meaningful change.
