Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Sommer works with cognitive techniques that help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts contributing to stress and anxiety. These methods are often used to reduce worry and support clearer decision making in parenting and family situations.

She also uses narrative approaches that encourage clients to tell and reframe their personal stories. This helps people separate who they are from difficult events and regain a sense of control after trauma or family conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sommer will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and daily life to choose techniques that fit. The work is collaborative and adjusted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to attend around family schedules. These options allow short check-ins, longer conversations, or written work between sessions, offering practical flexibility for caregivers and parents.
