About Summer
Summer Batini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who offers steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and meets clients where they are. Her approach is calm and focused on small, useful steps that fit day-to-day life.
She uses acceptance and commitment ideas alongside mindfulness to help people notice what matters and take action toward it. Client-centered listening is central to her work - she makes space for each person’s story without rushing to fix things.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior skills are brought in when stronger emotion regulation and coping tools are needed. Summer draws on seven years of clinical experience to help people handle life changes, relationship struggles, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She pays attention to attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, and shame that often underlie distress.
Sessions include practical tools for communication, boundaries, and managing triggers. Parents who are overwhelmed by transitions, blended family concerns, or fatherhood issues may find focused strategies for daily routines, boundaries, and self-care. She also addresses eating and body-image worries, codependency, and isolation with straightforward, workable steps.
Therapy can combine short skill-based assignments with deeper processing over time. Summer aims to help people rebuild a sense of purpose and steadiness, one manageable change at a time.

Using Mindfulness and Skills Online
Summer often draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people name their values and take small steps toward them. ACT teaches noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means listening with curiosity and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and helps guide what skills or deeper work to try next. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when stronger tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are needed.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter sessions that fit between work or family tasks. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum and practice new skills between meetings.
