About Bobbi
Bobbi Warner Somers is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Bobbi also supports people facing anger, low self-esteem, and life changes.
She spent many years in human services before earning a master’s degree in 2007 and becoming dually licensed in substance abuse and mental health counseling. That background shaped a practical way of working. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. She listens, then helps identify small steps that make everyday life more manageable.
Her approach centers on a strong working relationship. From there she draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. That mix is used to find tools that fit the person, such as skills for managing mood, changing unhelpful thinking, or planning healthier routines.
Bobbi often helps people untangle family conflict and parenting strain. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and substance use concerns. Sessions aim to clarify priorities, reduce overwhelm, and build practical coping skills.
People who prefer straightforward, practical conversations about home life and relationships tend to fit well with her style. If you want concrete strategies and a collaborative approach to handle parenting pressures, relationship stress, or an addiction concern, she may be a good match.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping someone identify their own goals and strengths. Online sessions using this approach usually involve open conversation and reflective questions that clarify what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing patterns. In an online setting CBT can include short exercises, thought records, and practical homework to practice between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and resolve mixed feelings about difficult choices. It is often used when addressing substance use, ambivalence around parenting changes, or sticky relationship decisions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or regular appointments that match a person's schedule. Therapists can assign brief exercises between sessions to keep progress moving even when life is busy.
