About Sommer
Sommer Blair is a licensed social worker in South Carolina with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma, and abuse. She also supports parents who are dealing with the practical and emotional demands of raising children.
Her work combines cognitive and narrative approaches, which means she pays attention to thoughts and the personal stories people tell about their lives.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and reshaping the stories that keep people stuck. The goal is to build clearer thinking and more helpful day-to-day habits. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to make the room feel open and respectful.
Conversations are practical and grounded, with time spent on small, doable steps clients can try between meetings. Sommer emphasizes listening first, then collaborating on a plan that fits each person’s needs. She has experience with issues that often overlap, such as trauma, parenting strain, adoption and foster care challenges, caregiver stress, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination.
She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and young adult concerns. Therapy with Sommer works best for people who want clear, direct feedback and simple tools to manage anxiety and daily stress. She helps people notice patterns, try new approaches, and build routines that feel sustainable over time.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Sommer uses cognitive approaches that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns; these methods help with anxiety, stress, and decision-making by teaching concrete skills to reframe thoughts. Narrative-style work looks at the personal stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, helping clients rewrite those stories in less burdensome ways so they can move forward.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then try techniques and adjust them over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions increasingly match their needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice conversation is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats let people fit therapy into busy days and access consistent support from licensed professionals.
