About Bobbie
Bobbie Bleskey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Bobbie also addresses concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose.
Her background includes long work in the substance abuse and addiction field alongside general mental health practice. That experience informs her work with people managing addictive behaviors and with those carrying loss or ongoing low mood. She uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people manage symptoms day to day.
In sessions she prioritizes honest conversation about feelings and choices. Bobbie helps people name what feels hard, notice patterns, and try new ways of coping. She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable parts and suggesting simple skills to practice between meetings.
She encourages clients to explore what matters next after a change in work, relationships, or health. Discussions may include regaining routine, rebuilding connections, and clarifying values that guide decisions. The work emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.
To begin, she asks people to share what led them to seek support and what they hope to change. That information shapes the first steps together and helps set small, achievable goals for sessions going forward.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Bobbie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps with social anxiety, worry, and low mood by changing patterns of thinking and action.Another approach she uses centers on coping skills for addiction and stress. That includes building routines, managing triggers, and practicing short coping strategies that can be used when cravings, panic, or overwhelming emotions arise. These tools aim to help people regain control of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then choose strategies to try. Sessions are collaborative and can shift as progress and circumstances change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use virtual sessions to practice skills in the context of everyday life and to maintain momentum between in-person meetings when that is helpful.
