Therapeutic approaches Samantha uses in online care

Samantha commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on a person’s strengths so they can explore goals and values at their own pace; it can be helpful for those facing life changes, low self esteem, and relationship concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to relieve symptoms such as anxiety and depression and to develop practical coping skills. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies and can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Samantha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and goal-focused.

Online therapy with Samantha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate.
