About Sommer
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 18 years of experience, Sommer Seitz focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She works directly with people who are coping with overwhelming feelings and life changes. Sessions are meant to be a place to speak honestly about what feels hard and to identify practical next steps.
Sommer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce symptoms and improve coping. She helps clients name unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, relationship strain, and difficult memories. Work often includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and problems that come from family of origin dynamics.
She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. Obsessions, compulsions, and OCD concerns are within her scope of practice as well.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Sommer aims to make room for feelings and to try skills between appointments. Progress is tracked in small, observable steps so people can notice change.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a cancellable subscription model that varies with location.

How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Sommer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new responses. For example, she may use structured approaches that help people notice triggers, test small behavioral changes, and build coping skills for anxiety and depression. She also addresses relationship patterns and attachment concerns by examining how past relationships shape present reactions and rehearsing clearer communication.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sommer will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time based on what helps most. The emphasis is on practical steps and checking progress together.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving commitments and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available for scheduling and participation.
