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, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues.
Somers draws on a person-centered stance alongside practical methods. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client. From there she blends cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to find concrete tools that fit each person.
Her work often involves breaking down patterns that keep people stuck. That looks like identifying thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or drive people-pleasing. It also means practicing new responses, planning small experiments, and tracking what changes.
When addiction or substance use is part of the picture, she integrates approaches that support motivation and behavioral shifts without judgment. She helps people weigh options, set goals, and make stepwise changes.
Parents and caregivers find practical ways to manage stress and boundaries. People dealing with grief, low mood, or midlife transitions receive clear techniques for coping and rebuilding routines. Sessions move at a steady, straightforward pace focused on what clients can try between meetings.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship. Online work uses that same focus on what the person brings, helping the therapist understand priorities and values so goals are clear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change them. Online sessions can include homework, behavior tracking, and short experiments to try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing supports moving toward change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation. It helps when someone is uncertain about steps related to substance use or other habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress or obstacles appear.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography doesn’t list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day - for example, a shorter check-in can work during a lunch break, or a phone session can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. These practical options help people keep therapy consistent without requiring major schedule changes.
