About Bobbi
Bobbi Warner Somers is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, parenting stress, family conflict, and young adult issues. Bobbi works with adults who are navigating life changes and feeling overwhelmed by emotions or responsibilities.
Bobbi's background includes a master’s degree earned in 2007 and long-term work in human services. Her practice draws on many years helping people cope with substance use concerns alongside mental health problems. She frames work around clear goals and practical tools rather than abstract theory.
Her style centers on building a reliable therapeutic relationship first. From there she uses elements of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns and try different strategies. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels hard or uncertain, and solution-focused ideas keep the work directed toward specific next steps.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying small experiments to try between meetings, and revisiting what worked. Bobbi aims to help clients develop manageable skills for stress, mood, and relationship difficulties. She also addresses issues common in young adulthood, such as career starts, relationship shifts, and feeling behind peers.
People who prefer straightforward language and concrete tasks may find this approach useful. The emphasis is on real-world coping skills, clearer communication, and steady progress toward personal goals.
How her approaches fit online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and then decide on goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to address mixed or uncertain feelings about change; it helps people find their own reasons to make small steps.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy continues.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit meetings around school, work, or caregiving. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let someone choose whether to use video or audio if those options are supported. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and client-centered discussions to remote formats when both parties agree.
