About Bobbi
Bobbi Cleary, LPC, centers her practice on a holistic view of health where emotional and mental wellness are part of overall balance. She emphasizes practical tools clients can use between sessions to reduce stress and build resilience. Bobbi values empowerment and helps people locate inner strength to move toward greater calm and purpose.
Her approach is eclectic, which means she combines methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method. She draws from reflective Rogerian techniques, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, self-compassion, self-regulation strategies, and Gottman work when relevant. The goal is to develop a trusting connection that lets people process difficult feelings and try new ways of coping.
Bobbi earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University in 2005 and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. She has 13 years of clinical experience across inpatient psychiatric, residential, outpatient agency, and independent practice settings. That range has given her experience with assessments, group work, and individual therapy.
Her background also includes a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Studies with a minor in French from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and two years living in Japan. Those experiences shaped her interest in how language and culture shape behavior and motivation.
Bobbi works from a practical mindset. Sessions focus on small, usable changes such as breathing and grounding techniques, clearer communication, and tools to manage mood and relationships. People come for many concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, intimacy-related topics, parenting strain, and self esteem.
