About Sommer
Sommer Seitz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, trauma, or depression. Sommer also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and obsessive behaviors.
She focuses on practical conversations that clarify what is happening in a person’s life. Sessions are conversational and direct. Sommer listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting swallowed by another person’s problems, and then helps clients notice small changes they can try between sessions.
Sommer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address both current difficulties and the history that keeps those patterns going. She helps people name feelings, set boundaries, and practice new ways of handling conflict or worry. Work can include short skills practice and checking what worked when trying a different approach.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She aims to reduce shame and increase clear decision-making about relationships and priorities. Sommer invites clients to take manageable steps toward feeling more like themselves rather than promising quick fixes.
Sommer works in Washington and offers services in English. People should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits their needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Sommer draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on patterns in relationships and responses to stress. One approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. It involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them in real life, and practicing alternative responses.Another approach targets relationship patterns like codependency and attachment difficulties. This work looks at how early experiences shape expectations, then practices new ways of setting boundaries and asking for needs to be met. It often combines reflection with short behavioral experiments to test different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sommer will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day demands. She helps prioritize what to try first and checks in about what helps and what needs adjusting.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example, they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt skills practice and tracking exercises to work well in remote sessions.
