How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Sommer combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to give practical tools for everyday stress. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety and mood problems. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.She also integrates Solution-Focused Therapy to find concrete next steps that fit a person's life. This approach narrows in on small, achievable goals so progress can be noticed quickly. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals and preferences.
