Valentina Barrios, B.P.; M.A - Online Therapy

I am a psychologyst specialized in cognitive-behavioural therapy. I consider as as mental health professional that is very important to have the ethical obligation on having a permanent update in evidence-based treatments. In other words, treatments in which the scientific evidence have proven to be effective for the client’s problem. I am a member of the International Association for the Study of Pain and also of the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. Also, I am a teacher at the University of Buenos Aires. I propose treatments focussed on the goal which is agreed with the client and specific interventions that aim to the maintenance factors of the client’s problem. I provide short or long term treatments with clients, taking into consideration the different levels of complexity of different difficulties and presentations. I am also a member of tthe International Association for the Study of Pain. I count with training and experience in: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, burn-out, trauma, OCD, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, grief, stress, insomnia, phobias, eating disorders (obesity,, binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia), medical an chronic diseases (chronic pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, cancer), PTSD, social anxiety disorder. Every intervention I offer is tailor-made to the individual client’s needs. If you have any queries at all about what I offer, please feel free to send me a message. I am happy to help.
