About Bobbi
Bobbi Ortiz is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience. She practices in Texas and offers straightforward, goal-focused care for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn out. Bobbi uses clear conversation to help clients recognize patterns and make practical changes they can live with.
She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the stories that keep them stuck. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens - with warmth and respect - so each person sets the pace and priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps address unhelpful thoughts and habits with simple, actionable steps. Bobbi also brings experience from teaching social work and leading a nonprofit, which gives her a broad view of how systems affect daily life. She uses that perspective when talking about work stress, parenting strain, relationship conflicts, or questions about life purpose.
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and building skills people can use between meetings. Typical topics include stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Her style is collaborative and steady.
She helps people sort through feelings, try new approaches, and track what works. The aim is to create manageable changes that fit each person's life and values.

Online session options
How Narrative and Skills-Based Work Translate to Online Sessions
Bobbi commonly combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy helps people identify and reframe the stories they tell about themselves so they can try new behaviors. Client-Centered work shapes how sessions feel, with the person setting the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on specific thoughts and habits and offers practical exercises to change them.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend or adapt methods together. That lets sessions shift as needs change, for example moving from story work to concrete behavior experiments when that fits the goal.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, try skills between sessions, or check in when time is tight. These options support flexibility and ongoing work toward clear goals.
