Dr. Stephanie Bobbitt, LPC
Somatic-informed counselor focused on practical change
About Stephanie
Dr. Stephanie Bobbitt uses a somatic-informed approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Michigan.
Her style is down-to-earth and practical, focusing on what someone can do between sessions to feel steadier and more able to cope. She draws on body-focused work alongside attachment-based ideas to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. This helps with anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She pairs those methods with client-centered listening so the person’s priorities lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to identify patterns of thought and create small, concrete shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas support people working through relationship and communication problems, infidelity, and family of origin concerns.
Sessions often include guided meditations and visualization tools to try in the moment and at home. Dr. Bobbitt brings 11 years of experience in educational and mental health settings.
She supports issues like self-esteem, career questions, fertility and fatherhood topics, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and concerns connected to kink and alternative sex culture. Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to how past attachment experiences affect present relationships. She works with adults on life transitions, coping, and emotional regulation.
The focus is collaborative: clients set goals and Dr. Bobbitt tailors techniques to fit their needs and pace.
How somatic and attachment approaches fit into online therapy
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how emotions appear in the body and uses simple practices to help someone notice and shift physical tension. This can help with anxiety, stress, and trauma-related reactions by teaching grounding and breathing strategies that can be practiced between sessions.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how those patterns show up now. It helps people improve communication, manage fears of abandonment, and understand how past relationships shape current ones. Client-Centered Therapy provides a space where the person’s goals guide the work and the therapist follows their pace and priorities.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjust methods as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use strategies in real contexts between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide somatic exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and CBT-based skill-building through these remote formats to keep work practical and flexible.
