Jeremy Barbagallo, LPC

Jeremy Barbagallo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut. He has 25 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. He focuses on practical support and clear steps people can try between sessions. Jeremy creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels hardest. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding. He pays attention to relationship tensions, communication problems, and issues tied to family of origin. He uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. Jeremy also draws on client-centered listening to make sure each person’s goals shape the work. Mindfulness tools and motivational techniques are added when they fit a client's needs. Many people come for help with attachment concerns, avoidant personality patterns, or difficulties around commitment and intimacy. He also supports those dealing with body image, eating and food-related issues, addiction, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation. Jeremy aims for steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes. He helps clients set simple, measurable steps and checks progress together. When appropriate, he uses solution-focused strategies to prioritize the next right move and reduce overwhelm.

Approach and online therapy options

Jeremy commonly uses cognitive behavioral work to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. He also draws on client-centered therapy which emphasizes attentive listening and shaping the work around each person’s goals. Mindfulness techniques are added to help people build present-moment awareness and manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jeremy works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what is most helpful in real time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, quick problem-solving, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy routines.
