Sommer Seitz, LMHC

Sommer Seitz, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), practices in Washington and brings 18 years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and symptoms of depression. Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed and explored safely.

Sommer focuses on helping clients identify patterns that interfere with wellbeing and on developing practical strategies to foster greater resilience, healthier relationships, and clearer life direction. She emphasizes collaborative work - partnering with each person to set goals, build skills, and find what feels most helpful for them. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life often takes courage, and Sommer aims to provide steady support and encouragement throughout that process.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Sommer Seitz uses a range of evidence-based techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One approach centers on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage depressive symptoms, and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing and coping with traumatic experiences so that painful memories and reactions have less influence over present life. A third strand of work addresses relationship and attachment patterns, helping clients improve communication, set boundaries, and repair or reframe important interpersonal dynamics.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Sommer collaborates with each client to explore which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide consistent, goal-focused care through these options, making it easier to access support from home, work, or other settings.
