About Summer
Summer Batini is a licensed professional counselor who offers calm, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and big life changes. She helps people talk through trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, and struggles with self-esteem or depression. Summer is based in Colorado and brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice.
She takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in the room.
How Summer works
That can mean learning skills to manage strong emotions, building routines to reduce stress, or clarifying values to guide decisions about work and relationships. Summer draws on acceptance and commitment ideas alongside mindfulness and client-centered care to shape goals together. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when emotion regulation or behavior change is needed.
These methods are used to teach specific skills and to support steady progress over time. Many people find it helpful that Summer combines listening with clear, actionable steps. Therapy may include short exercises, homework between sessions, and checking in on what’s working.
Her aim is to help each person find practical ways to cope and move forward. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Summer communicates in English and maintains a practice governed by her Colorado LPC credential.

How approaches like ACT, DBT, and mindfulness fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It is useful for people stuck in avoidance or who want clearer direction in work, relationships, or life purpose.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful reactions. It helps people learn distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal communication in stressful moments.
Mindfulness Therapy brings present-moment awareness into sessions through breathing, simple practices, and noticing patterns. It supports reducing reactivity, easing anxiety, and making steadier choices over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That collaborative process can shift as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practice between sessions, or when people prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and to use therapy in daily life.
