She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Sommer approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to a person's specific needs so they can take practical steps forward.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than jargon. Sommer draws on approaches that address thoughts, body sensations, and practical problem solving to reduce distress and build coping skills.

She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Mindfulness-based practices are included to calm strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness. Somatic methods can help people connect physical sensations with feelings that are hard to name.

She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, grief around forgiveness, and long-standing mood or trauma symptoms.

People who choose her can expect a respectful, down-to-earth approach that focuses on practical steps. She invites clients to set the pace and helps them evaluate what’s working.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Sommer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is practical and problem focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that calm emotions and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then try methods that suit your needs. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as you notice what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time or arranging shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions like divorce and separation. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so the work remains focused and practical.
