About Bobbie

Bobbie Briggs is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Wisconsin who brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Bobbie draws on a range of therapeutic tools to support recovery and personal growth, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR alongside narrative-informed and trauma-focused practices. Her approach emphasizes collaboration: she partners with clients to explore identity, process grief and trauma, and address concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose.

Bobbie aims to cultivate a therapy environment where clients can practice vulnerability, build self-compassion, and develop practical skills for coping with seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, self-harm urges, and other challenges. She offers services in English and works with clients through online formats appropriate for her Wisconsin license.

Online approaches for trauma and thought patterns

Bobbie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, equipping clients with concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress management. EMDR helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their goals, history, and preferences. Early sessions typically involve learning about the client's concerns, trying out techniques, and adjusting the plan as needed so therapy feels aligned with the person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapeutic tools and support from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapists and clients to tailor session length and communication style to suit practical needs.
