Bobbie Briggs, LMFT

Bobbie Briggs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Wisconsin who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, identity questions, and major life transitions. She draws on a blend of practical tools and relational approaches to help clients manage depressive symptoms, build self-esteem, process grief, and navigate the effects of abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Briggs emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which clients are invited to take ownership of their stories and explore growth in ways that honor their uniqueness. Her practice weaves together Liberation Psychology, Narrative Family Therapy, somatic practices, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. That mix allows for attention to both internal patterns and the wider social or cultural forces that shape experience.

Even in virtual settings, Briggs aims to create an empowering space for vulnerability, healing, and skill-building. She works with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, multicultural concerns, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, self-love, and social anxiety, offering support that centers the client’s goals and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bobbie Briggs uses evidence-based approaches to address symptoms and life challenges in ways that are practical and experiential. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can be helpful for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, creating opportunities to reframe experiences and build alternative, more empowering narratives.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Briggs works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, easier access for those in remote areas, and continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. These options allow clients to engage with licensed professionals in a way that matches their comfort and lifestyle while still receiving focused therapeutic support.
