About Bobbi
Bobbi Warner Somers is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with 15 years of clinical experience. She draws on a long career in human services and a master's degree earned in 2007 to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and life transitions.
She begins by building a trusting working relationship and then helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions focus on finding what works for each person, using short-term strategies and skills that fit everyday life. Bobbi emphasizes collaboration and clear goals, so people leave with concrete options to try.
Her way of working blends client-centered conversation with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused methods. Motivational interviewing also appears when someone is weighing change or managing substance use. The emphasis is on small, doable shifts rather than overwhelming plans.
Bobbi often helps people facing family tensions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, grief, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports issues such as social anxiety, seasonal mood changes, and problems with impulse control and substance use.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and actionable steps tend to do well with her style. She encourages curiosity, steady progress, and learning tools that can be used after therapy ends.
How her approaches shape online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel heard. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and supports self-directed problem solving; this helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to clarify goals and strengthen commitment, which can be helpful for substance use and ambivalence about new habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to test techniques, adjust goals, and choose methods that fit the person's needs and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know the format offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use written tools or worksheets between sessions to practice new skills.
