About Samantha
Samantha Chaplin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and other life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use between sessions. Samantha keeps language simple and aims to make each conversation feel direct and useful.
She has 15 years of experience as a social worker and has practiced with people managing bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, grief, sleep problems, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She draws on several therapy methods to tailor work to each person’s needs rather than following a single script. Sessions tend to focus on skills, small experiments, and rebuilding everyday routines. Samantha uses client-centered methods that start with the person’s strengths and goals.
She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation when anger or intense feelings come up. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
People can expect concrete tools to manage emotions, improve sleep, reduce cravings, and handle stressors. She emphasizes short-term strategies alongside longer-term habit changes. Samantha practices from Maine and offers therapy in English.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks new clients to use a short questionnaire to match with her and to schedule sessions according to her listed hours.

How Samantha’s Approaches Work Online
Samantha commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building on a person’s strengths so they feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in on what’s helping and adjusts the plan, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or a good fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between appointments, send brief updates, or get short coaching during a rough patch. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
