Hello! My name is Bobbi Kelsey and I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in Michigan and in Oklahoma. I graduated from the University of Buffalo in 2011 and have approximately 12 years of diverse experience. I have worked with a wide variety of clients and concerns including depression, anxiety, healing from trauma/PTSD, adjustment to life transitions, grief/loss, sexual issues, and pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum care.
I know one of the most crucial and oftentimes challenging parts of the therapeutic process is taking the first steps to reach out and make the first appointment. I recognize the importance of finding the right fit between client and therapist, and as such, I offer a warm, flexible, and accepting client-centered approach to treatment. I will often utilize several different treatment modalities to best fit your individual needs and goals. My educational and professional background is trauma informed and I have been trained in EMDR for over 5 years.
If you are ready to take the first steps toward meaningful change in your life and feel like I would be a good fit for a therapist to walk that journey with you, then I look forward to hearing from and working with you.

Bobbi has really helped me through one of the most difficult challenges I have ever faced. Her thoughtfulness and encouraging words have really made an impact on me. She is a wonderful listener and makes me feel heard and like I'm not alone. The ease of scheduling appointments and the ability to send messages through Betterhelp is a huge benefit and comforting to know someone is there anytime I need.

Bobbi has been consistent, helpful, insightful, and understanding the whole time I've been seeing her. I will continue to use BH particularly because I want to continue seeing Bobbi specifically. She has helped me through a tremendous amount already and I never feel judged by her, even when I am being my most vulnerable.

Not sure what to write yet, as It's only been, what a month now?
But, she's been a great amazing help for me, having someone for me that can help sort out all the mess of my brain, the way I think and my thoughts and how I communicate them, really really helps, especially pointing me with good questions, its helped me more and more to learn myself and get to where I should be going for myself. I'm really thankful.

Bobbi has always worked with my schedule and made time, especially surrounding her time off. She quickly responds to messages and any journals that I share with her. She interacts throughout sessions rather then feeling like I am talking to a wall! Very highly recommend.

Bobbi is wonderful. She makes me feel held and that someone both cares about me as an individual and will challenge me to become a better person. She listens well, and tracks many disparate lines of thought into cohesive connected counseling.
I have valued her support and the work she asks me to do on myself. I also value the validation I've received when sharing difficult things.
Written on Nov 11, 2020 after therapy with Bobbi for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, and intimacy-related issues
Bobbi has given me great tools to cope with this new exciting but scary chapter in my life. I’m glad we were matched up so well since the beginning.
Written on Sep 17, 2020 after therapy with Bobbi for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Bobbi is so helpful and easy to talk to. She is very open minded and will listen to any suggestion you may have as a client to make therapy work for you. She’s open to discussing any topic and doesn’t make me feel like I’m such an awful human due to having anxiety. Some therapists in the past have acted perfect and Bobbi does not shes reassured me lots of people have anxiety and depression, not just me. I would recommend her to all family/friends needing a counselor.
