Sommer Seitz

Sommer Seitz is a Washington LMHC with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sommer also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment challenges, body image, codependency, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions she invites straightforward conversation about what feels stuck. Conversations focus on concrete patterns - how thoughts, feelings, and reactions show up in day-to-day life. She pays attention to relationship dynamics, patterns from family of origin, and how old coping habits can cause fresh problems now.

Sommer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical changes. That can include tracking unhelpful thought patterns, practicing different ways of communicating, and testing small behavioral shifts between sessions. The aim is to notice what changes affect mood, stress, and relationships.

She often helps people wrestling with midlife questions or feeling uncertain about what matters next. Issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and obsessive habits are addressed with focused work rather than long general talk.

Clients can expect a clear and steady approach that emphasizes real-life adjustments. Sommer explains steps, checks progress, and adjusts the focus as needs change.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Sommer works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable changes in thinking and behavior. One common approach helps people spot and reframe unhelpful thoughts so anxiety and low mood are less likely to drive daily decisions. This is a practical, skills-focused method useful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Another frequent strand is work on attachment and relationship patterns. That involves noticing how past relationship habits repeat today and practicing different ways of communicating and setting boundaries. It helps with codependency, communication problems, and midlife relationship questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sommer will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She checks progress, adjusts the plan, and prioritizes what matters most to the client.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to keep continuity of care while focusing on practical steps the client wants to take.
