About Bobbi
Bobbi Cleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska who brings a holistic, person-centered style to therapy. She emphasizes practical skills and uses a mix of approaches to help people navigate strong emotions and life changes. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, LGBT issues, and bipolar mood concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to teach tools that can be used day to day to reduce distress and improve coping. Her counseling style is eclectic. She draws from reflective Rogerian listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, self-compassion work, self-regulation techniques, and principles from the Gottman approach.
That mix lets her pick methods that match a person’s goals and situation rather than relying on one fixed model. Bobbi completed a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University in 2005 and holds the LPC credential. She has about 13 years of clinical experience across inpatient psychiatric, residential, outpatient agency, and independent practice settings.
That range shaped her comfort with both crisis-oriented work and longer-term skill building. She frames emotional health as part of overall wellbeing and sees therapy as a partnership. People who value practical tools and steady guidance find her style direct and supportive as they work toward calmer, more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Bobbi uses several evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching step-by-step strategies to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness practices train attention and present-moment awareness through brief exercises and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and stress. Self-compassion and self-regulation techniques teach simple, repeatable practices to calm the nervous system and respond to difficult emotions with less intensity.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try methods that seem likely to fit, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. That flexibility helps tailor care to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for a more traditional face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or written reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to use skills in everyday moments.
