About Bobbie
Bobbie Briggs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Wisconsin. She brings three years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. Bobbie aims to create a welcoming space where people can be honest about what they are facing and begin to make changes they value.
Bobbie focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. She helps with everyday struggles like low self-esteem, social anxiety, and the emotional fallout of life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports work around abandonment, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and issues tied to identity and multicultural concerns. In session she mixes storytelling and skills-based work. Narrative Therapy is part of her approach, which means she pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to question unhelpful narratives.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates EMDR and trauma-focused strategies to address overwhelming memories and their effects on day-to-day life. Her style aims to be collaborative - she invites people to set goals and test small changes between meetings.
Bobbie offers therapy through video and phone, and also supports shorter check-ins by live chat or text messaging. She encourages people to consider which format fits their schedule and comfort so that therapy feels possible alongside other responsibilities.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Bobbie uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about their lives and to help separate a person from the problem. This approach can help when identity, meaning, or long-held beliefs are getting in the way of feeling better.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change routines of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT offers concrete strategies people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
When trauma is central, EMDR and trauma-focused techniques are part of her work to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional impact. These approaches are used alongside talk-based work and grounding practices so progress feels manageable.
Finding the right approach happens together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then tailor methods to the person's needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and do longer therapy work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing connection between longer meetings.
