About Bobbi
Bobbi Warner Somers is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship or family tensions. Bobbi writes plainly and keeps sessions goal-oriented so busy people can get useful skills quickly.
She begins by building a steady working relationship and listens to what matters to each person.
Background and approach
From there she blends straightforward methods to match a person's needs. Clients can expect collaborative conversations and clear, doable steps rather than long lectures. Her approach draws on client-centered principles so people feel heard and respected.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels risky or hard to start. Bobbi has a background in both mental health and substance use work and brings that combined perspective to sessions.
That experience helps when concerns overlap, such as addiction with mood or family stress. She aims to name patterns and offer tools that fit daily life. Sessions cover practical topics like parenting challenges, boundary-setting, communication breakdowns, coping with grief, and managing anger or mood shifts.
The focus is on skills that clients can try between sessions and adapt as life changes.

How these approaches fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people feel understood and shapes goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, mood, and behavior changes.Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Together they adjust techniques based on what works and what feels manageable in daily life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and try hands-on exercises together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or days when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, childcare, or other routines while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
