“THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD IS GETTING STARTED”
-MARK TWAIN
Jennifer Dobies, M.ED., M.A,
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in providing counseling services in a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment. I believe that everyone can learn and grow in any situation they find themselves in throughout the journey of life. Over the last 25 years, I am fortunate to have had experience in major league baseball, teaching and school counseling, and the therapeutic environment. These career opportunities have helped foster great training and experiences that I bring into my practice.
I believe that there is no “one model fits all” when working with clients and that I will tailor my approach to each client’s needs. I take a Solution-focused and Acceptance and Commitment approach to therapy. I also specialize in ERP for OCD and anxiety treatment. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is a beneficial tool to help process anxiety and trauma. My goal is to create a therapeutic experience that works best for you. I want you to empower yourself and build the most fulfilling life.
My office is easily accessible from any part of the Tampa Bay area. I have created a warm and welcoming space for us to work together. You have already taken the first step on your new journey in mental wellness.

Navigating Anxiety During Family Holiday Events

Feeling Stuck
Feeling stuck in life is close to universal, and it is unusually good at convincing you it is permanent. Whether it shows up in your relationships, your career, or a general sense that the years are passing without much changing, the trapped feeling can be genuinely...
It’s an Odd World Right Now
Coping with uncertainty has become a daily skill lately. Are you feeling the oddness in the air as much as I am? It is hard to put a finger on, but the world seems to be changing at a pace that is difficult to absorb. Politics, human rights, the climate, the economy,...
What to Talk About in Therapy
Working out what to talk about in therapy is a more common problem than people admit. When a few weeks pass between sessions it gets hard to remember where you left off, and things that felt urgent at the time quietly drop away. Sometimes the opposite happens. Nothing...
Anxiety and Depression in Teenage Girls
Anxiety and depression in teenage girls rarely announce themselves. Middle school and high school are a stretch where everything feels new — living in a changing body, feeling things they have never felt before, working out who they are, finding new friends. Some...
Marriage Maintenance
We service the car before it breaks down. We go to the dentist without waiting for a toothache. Marriage maintenance is the same idea applied to the relationship most of the rest of life depends on — and almost nobody does it. Roughly half of marriages end in divorce....
