Bobbie-Jo Rand, LCSW

Bobbie-Jo Rand is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 17 years of experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and grief. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered work to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and habits that keep difficulties going. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are included to help with coping and small, achievable changes.

Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems like parenting strains, blended family issues, workplace stress, and communication problems. She pays attention to how mood disorders and co-occurring conditions affect daily functioning. When addiction or self-harm concerns are present, treatment looks at behavior patterns and motivation for change.

Bobbie-Jo works with people across a range of concerns including LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses body image, codependency, isolation, and impulsivity. The work blends short-term problem solving with longer-term skills practice.

Practical steps are emphasized. Clients learn tools for managing distress, improving sleep, and handling relationship conflict. She helps people set manageable goals and track progress over time.
