Hello!
My name is Bobbie Jo Rand and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) in the State of Maine. I have been practicing in the clinical social work field for over 14 years in a school setting, emergency room setting and crisis counseling capacity. I graduated from University of New England with a Master in Social Work. I have worked with different populations including children, teenagers, and adults. My experience includes working with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, relationship issues, family conflict, self-esteem, and substance use issues.
Many of the clients I have previously worked with experienced anxiety, depression, addiction and other negative emotions that you could be experiencing yourself. I use a number of techniques depending on what works for the patient. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based approaches, solution focused techniques, motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices. You are the most important part of the counseling relationship. We start where you are and work towards the goals you want to achieve. I look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to request a time outside of my available times, I have some flexibility to provide time at other times not listed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Bobbie-Jo really helped me for the last few months. Her questions always helped me think and grow and learn more about myself
Today was my first session with Bobbie-Joe and I immediately knew I would love her. She is so easy to talk to and extremely understanding. She made me feel heard and understood. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
I’ve only had two sessions but I’m so grateful.
Bobbie-Jo has been great. Our conversations do help, she helps me understand situations better. My anxiety level has gone down. Feels good to talk to her every week, many take aways from our sessions. I am very greatful for her.
Although I just recently started Bobbie-Jo has been very helpful and easy to talk with. I was scared to start my therapy journey, I thought I could deal with it myself but I finally got the courage and I am so happy I was paired with Bobbie-Jo.
Although my time has been short talking with her. She has been encouraging. I m sharing my journal and she is giving feedback. Very easy to talk to and I feel calm and focused after.
