About Bobbie
Bobbie Bleskey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.

Her approach is collaborative. She works with each person to set realistic goals and to try concrete strategies between meetings. These might include small behavioral changes, problem-solving, and ways to cope when anxiety or cravings arise.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversation about current struggles and past patterns that affect daily life. She draws on her long clinical experience to suggest methods that are useful for the specific problems people bring, including social anxiety and phobia.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Bobbie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common technique helps people practice and rehearse manageable social interactions, breaking larger fears into small steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social settings.Another approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts that increase anxiety. This involves noticing specific thoughts, testing how accurate they are, and trying alternative, more helpful ways of thinking to reduce worry and shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques are made together, and methods can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
