Bobbie-Jo Rand is a clinical social worker licensed to practice in Maine and is also a certified drug and alcohol counselor. She earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of New England and brings over 14 years of clinical experience in a range of settings including schools, emergency rooms, and crisis counseling.
She has worked with children, teenagers, and adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, relationship challenges, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, and substance use. Her approach is collaborative and adaptable, using cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based methods, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices to meet each person where they are.
Bobbie-Jo centers the person in the therapeutic relationship, helping clients set and move toward goals at a pace that fits their needs. She is open to scheduling flexibility and invites prospective clients to request appointment times outside the posted availability when needed.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is convenience - clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether that is a video appointment, a phone call, live chat, or messaging within an app. This flexibility makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different match would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible way to begin addressing mental health concerns and working toward personal goals.
