Samantha uses an integrative approach, drawing from several therapeutic models to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Tailored therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take value-driven action, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for issues such as low motivation, anxiety about change, and persistent emotional pain. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a non-judgemental stance so clients can explore their own solutions and build self-trust; it suits people seeking support to increase self-esteem, process relationship concerns, or find direction during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to reduce symptoms of depression, sleep problems, and other mood-related difficulties, offering practical strategies for coping and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Samantha works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on how the work unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow people to receive consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel.
