About Summer
Summer Batini is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and big life changes. She offers a calm, steady presence and practical steps people can try between sessions. Her style is warm and focused on what will help you feel more grounded in daily life.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for handling intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her work, too, so clients learn how to notice thoughts and make choices that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than purely academic. Summer has seven years of experience practicing in Colorado as an LPC. That background shapes how she helps people who face trauma, loss, difficult relationships, or ongoing stress from work and life demands.
She pays attention to patterns like attachment and abandonment issues when they come up. In sessions she breaks big problems into small, manageable steps. She might teach breathing and grounding practices one week, communication skills the next, and ways to reduce self-criticism after that.
Homework is simple and tied to real situations clients face. Her aim is to help people rebuild a sense of purpose and connection. Summer works with people to create realistic plans for change and to strengthen coping skills over time.
She values steady progress and practical tools that fit everyday life.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and commit to small actions in line with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and when life shifts feel overwhelming. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment focus.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try approaches that match those needs. Together they will choose techniques to practice between sessions and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online care offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or irregular schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
