About Sommer
Sommer Seitz is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Sommer aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and direct, helping people take the first steps toward clearer goals and better days.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand how past wounds and current patterns affect daily life. Sessions focus on practical strategies and straightforward talk so clients can notice small changes quickly.
How Sommer works
Sommer pays attention to attachment patterns, abandonment concerns, and codependency when these issues affect a person’s mood or relationships. Her work also addresses struggles like body image, control issues, communication problems, and the effects of family of origin. People who feel stuck by guilt, shame, isolation, or a midlife reevaluation can explore those themes in session.
Obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and related OCD concerns are also part of her practice. Sommer aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really think and feel. She helps clients set clear, achievable steps and checks in on progress along the way.
The approach is collaborative, paced to each person’s needs, and focused on real-life improvements. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through online formats. Sommer supports people as they work toward a more fulfilling and happier life, offering steady guidance throughout the process.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Sommer offers evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete thoughts and behaviors. One common approach she uses looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; this helps when worry or low mood get in the way of daily life. Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by helping clients recognize how early relationships shape current reactions and communication; this is useful for people struggling with abandonment, codependency, or communication problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try strategies together and adjust them over time. This hands-on collaboration helps clients find what actually works for their situation rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on meaningful change.
