Barb Spall, MS, LPC
She/Her
Location: Lemont, Naperville
Life Changes / Adjustments, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem / Self Worth
Life has a way of making you question yourself – your worth, your direction, your relationships, your sense of who you even are anymore. Whether you’re navigating a divorce, struggling with anxiety that won’t let up, or simply feeling like you’ve lost the thread of yourself somewhere along the way, it can be hard to imagine finding solid ground again. But it’s there. And sometimes you just need the right person in your corner to help you find it.
Barb Spall has spent her career doing exactly that – first as a licensed school counselor working with middle schoolers in the thick of some of their most formative and difficult years, and now as a therapist for teens, young adults, and adults facing the full range of what life throws at us. That school-based background gave her something invaluable: the ability to meet people where they are, read what’s really going on beneath the surface, and make even the most reluctant clients feel genuinely at ease.
She provides individual and couples counseling at the Naperville and Lemont locations, supporting clients through anxiety, major life transitions, relationship challenges, divorce, low self-esteem, and women’s issues. Barb holds a Master’s in Counseling from National-Louis University and brings two years of professional counseling experience alongside her extensive school-based work, including facilitating self-esteem groups for girls – a thread that runs through everything she does.
In session, Barb draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help untangle anxious thoughts and negative self-talk, Motivational Interviewing to help you reconnect with your own sense of direction, and Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based strategies to help you see – often for the first time – just how resilient you already are. Her approach is warm, humanistic, and grounded in empathy and humor, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy every step of the way.
Barb especially loves working with clients who feel disconnected from themselves – people who aren’t sure who they are anymore or where they’re headed. Her goal is to help you not just cope, but genuinely reconnect with your strengths and move forward with clarity.
As she puts it: “I have a 100% success rate of making it through everything in my life so far – the good and the bad – and I want to help you make it through too.”
Outside the therapy room, Barb loves spending time with her family, going to the movies, and catching Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney in concert. She’s also a dedicated walker – her longest consecutive daily streak is 700 days and counting.
