    About Bobbi

    Bobbi Warner Somers is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a background in both mental health and substance use work. Bobbi focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship and family challenges.

    Bobbi begins by building a strong working relationship. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand each person’s perspective. From there she mixes in practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to address patterns that cause distress.

    Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help making changes in substance use, habits, or other behaviors. That method aims to explore readiness for change and support clear, doable next steps.

    Sessions often focus on concrete skills - communication strategies, coping techniques for mood and anxiety, and steps to reduce impulsive or harmful behaviors. Bobbi also helps people work through grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

    Her style is practical and straightforward. She helps people identify what matters to them and find small, achievable actions. If you want a therapist who listens and works with you to try things that might help, she offers a clear, collaborative approach.

  2. How these approaches shape online care

    Bobbi uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change behaviors such as substance use or other habits. That approach focuses on exploring motivation, identifying personal reasons for change, and agreeing on small, doable steps.

    She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. That helps create a collaborative space where goals come from the client rather than being imposed by the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in her work to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through practical exercises.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. This is a collaborative conversation about what feels useful and realistic.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and lower the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, focusing on goal-setting, skill practice, and tracking small changes over time.
