She avoids clinical jargon and keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. Over nearly two decades in practice, Sommer has guided people through divorce and separation, midlife changes, and the isolation that can follow major life events. She addresses control issues, codependency, body image concerns, guilt, and forgiveness work as part of broader healing.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online care
Sommer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach involves skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing and attention strategies to reduce immediate overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse, helping people make sense of painful memories and reduce their hold on current life. These methods are explained plainly and shaped to each person's situation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sommer will discuss options and help decide which techniques match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can work well when typing or video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins or short support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain regular contact while working toward clearer thinking and steadier mood.
