Barbara J Lanz Counseling Services

Compassionate, integrative counseling, breathwork, and experiential group workshops to support your healing, growth, and the unfolding of your truest self.
Welcome. My name is Barbara J Lanz. I offer a heart-centered, grounded approach to therapy that honors both your lived experience and your innate capacity to heal, grow, and transform.
I believe that each person carries a deep inner knowing, a quiet longing to live with more clarity, freedom, and authenticity. Sometimes life’s challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, or past experiences can disconnect us from that inner truth. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and begin to move forward in a more empowered and meaningful way.
With a background in nursing and a master’s degree in counseling, I bring an understanding of the connection between mind, body, and emotional well-being. My work is also shaped by my own personal journey through anxiety, depression, and recovery, allowing me to meet you with compassion, humility, and genuine understanding.

In-person support in Jonesborough and telehealth sessions across Tennessee and Florida.
I offer individual therapy, breathwork sessions, and experiential group workshops designed to support healing on multiple levels. Through our work together, you may begin to release what no longer serves you, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate a deeper sense of presence, resilience, and self-trust.
This is a space where you can be seen, heard, and supported as you explore your inner world. A space where healing is not rushed, but gently invited. A space where you are encouraged to step into your own capacity for growth and transformation.
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Turning personal challenges into professional support
Counseling Grounded in Real Experience
I believe the best support comes from someone who truly gets it. My path to becoming a licensed counselor wasn’t just about earning a Master’s degree; it was shaped by my own experiences navigating anxiety and recovery. After a career in nursing, I moved into this field to provide the kind of steady, non-judgmental presence that helped me find my own balance. Your story matters here, and I am ready to sit with you through the messy parts of life without judgment.

IFS and nervous system support
Navigating Your Internal World
We all have different parts of ourselves—the inner critic, the protector, or the part that just wants to feel safe. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you make sense of this internal dialogue. By combining those insights with practical breathwork, we work to move your nervous system out of a constant state of high alert and back into a place of calm. We aren't trying to fix something that is broken; we are untangling emotional knots so you can carry your history with more clarity and less weight.
