About Sommer
Sommer Seitz is a Washington licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma or abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sommer also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, body image, and life purpose.
In sessions she encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and practical steps a person can try between meetings. She aims to reduce overwhelm and build clearer thinking about relationships, work, and personal priorities.
Sommer draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that create ongoing distress. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present worries, especially around attachment and trust. This approach can help with repetitive relationship problems, isolation, and struggles with control or perfectionism.
Clients can expect direct, steady work on communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt or shame that follows difficult events. Sommer also supports people facing midlife transitions, divorce and separation, or questions about life purpose. Sessions include practical strategies for managing anxiety, obsessions or compulsions, and improving day-to-day functioning.
Her practice operates in Washington and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so goals and next steps can be clarified.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sommer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day patterns and practical change. One common approach concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This method helps people practice different responses to worry and low mood in everyday situations. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns rooted in earlier experiences. That work involves naming repeated dynamics and trying new ways of communicating and relating when stress or abandonment fears arise.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Sommer collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is and isn’t working and adjusts plans so the work remains relevant and manageable.
