About Samantha
Samantha draws on 15 years of experience to teach coping skills and build routines that reduce crisis risk. She focuses on small, manageable changes people can use right away. Sessions look at current problems and identify strengths that have gotten clients through hard times before.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix helps people change unhelpful thinking, find internal motivation for change, and set concrete short-term goals. Treatment plans are shaped around what each person needs and wants to accomplish.
Samantha pays attention to family of origin issues, body image, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues when they are relevant to a person’s goals. She aims to make therapy a practical place to try new behaviors and test what works in everyday life. The emphasis is on skill-building and rebuilding confidence.
People who reach out will be guided through a matching process and scheduling that fits their situation. Samantha encourages clients to take the next step by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session when ready.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Samantha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical tools and clear steps to try between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach is gentle and goal-oriented, and it can be especially helpful when addressing addictions or ambivalence about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and for choosing audio-only meetings when video is not needed or preferred. Many people find remote sessions simplify scheduling without losing the focus on practical skills and goal progress.
