About Bobbi

Bobbi Warner Somers brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice as an LCMHC in Vermont. She centers her work on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Bobbi combines a practical, collaborative stance with a belief that clients hold important knowledge about their own lives, and she helps translate that insight into sustainable change. Her style blends client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods, plus motivational interviewing when exploring substance use and ambivalence.

Bobbi aims to build a strong working relationship first, then introduce tools that fit each person’s goals and daily life. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, mood disorders, social anxiety, and women’s and young adult concerns.

Bobbi’s approach is pragmatic and compassionate, focused on clear steps forward while honoring each client’s pace.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their own values and solutions while the therapist offers support and validation. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence about change by exploring personal motivations and strengthening commitment to specific goals, which can be particularly helpful around substance use and readiness for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often start with a conversation about priorities and then adapt techniques based on what feels most useful to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access care during busy periods, and use brief check-ins or messaging for ongoing support between appointments.
