About Sommer

Sommer Seitz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical, compassionate help for people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Sommer emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can talk through what matters most to them.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and relatable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps can make life feel more manageable. Sommer helps people name difficult feelings, spot patterns in relationships, and practice ways to reduce overwhelming anxiety or low mood.

Her background includes nearly two decades of professional work in mental health across Washington. That experience informs a steady, patient approach when addressing complex concerns like attachment wounds, abandonment, and family of origin issues. She also helps with practical problems such as communication difficulties, codependency, and managing control and perfectionism.

In session she breaks down problems into concrete pieces. For people struggling with obsessive thoughts, body image, or compulsive behaviors, she helps create clear plans to interrupt unhelpful cycles. For those facing divorce, midlife questions, or a search for life purpose, she supports steps toward greater clarity and forward movement.

Sommer speaks English and does not work with international clients at this time. She encourages anyone ready to begin to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques share a focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, and persistent self-critical thinking. Another helpful technique concentrates on patterns in relationships and attachment - it looks at how early experiences show up now and how new patterns can be practiced to feel safer and more connected.rr>Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.rr>If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since the biography did not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep therapy consistent through life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these evidence-based techniques for remote sessions, and the focus remains on clear, doable steps that fit into everyday life.
