About Bobbi
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 13 years of experience, Bobbi Cleary focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and bipolar mood concerns. She uses an eclectic, evidence-based approach and draws from a mix of methods to address each person's goals. Bobbi offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Bobbi describes her style as eclectic. She selects techniques that fit the person and the problem rather than following one single method. That can mean reflective Rogerian conversation, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness, self-compassion practices, self-regulation techniques, and Gottman-informed work when relevant.
She earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University in 2005 and holds the LPC credential. Her career includes work in psychiatric inpatient and residential settings and in outpatient agencies and private practice. She has experience with group, family, and individual therapy as well as intake assessments.
Bobbi also studied languages and culture, with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Studies and a minor in French from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Living in Japan for two years shaped how she notices the link between language, culture, and behavior.
In sessions she focuses on practical tools you can use between meetings. She aims to help people identify what helps them feel steadier and manage difficult moments. Conversations are oriented toward goals, small steps, and techniques that can be practiced outside the session.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Bobbi often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments. These tools are practical and help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete steps to practice between sessions.She also incorporates mindfulness and self-compassion practices to build awareness of present-moment experience and reduce harsh self-judgment. Mindfulness skills can help with grief, trauma-related hyperarousal, and ongoing worry by teaching simple attention and breathing exercises.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps in real life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow practical follow-ups like brief check-ins or homework review between longer meetings. Licensed professionals commonly use these advantages to keep therapy workable alongside school, work, and caregiving commitments.
