Summer Batini

Summer Batini, LPC, offers steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She provides a calm, patient presence to help someone talk through painful experiences and start finding practical ways forward.

She focuses on common struggles such as depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addiction, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Eating and food-related issues and body image are also listed among her focus areas. Sessions aim to address both immediate coping needs and longer-term patterns that keep problems recurring.

Her approach draws on methods that emphasize acceptance, present-moment awareness, and skills for managing intense emotions. She uses practical strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and motivational interviewing to help people make meaningful changes. Client-centered principles inform how she listens and responds.

Summer maintains a practice in Colorado and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, as listed. Conversations in sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

People often start by naming a single, manageable goal and building from there. Summer helps with problem solving, communication work, and learning tools to reduce reactivity. The aim is to help people feel more grounded and able to handle life’s ups and downs.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on small values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and concerns about life purpose. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. Mindfulness Therapy centers attention on the present moment and builds calm, which supports stress and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting as new issues arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling like early evenings or weekends. It also makes it straightforward to continue momentum between sessions with practice exercises, check-ins, and skills coaching tailored to everyday life.
