About Samantha
Samantha Dunn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, parenting strain, and the exhaustion that comes with juggling many roles. She talks with clients about daily pressures, sleeplessness, low self-esteem, grief, and the confusion that follows life transitions. Her tone is warm and steady from the first conversation.
Samantha keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. She asks questions to understand how a person’s day actually looks.
Background and approach
Then she offers tools that fit those routines, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients leave with clear steps to try between visits. Her work combines listening with evidence-based approaches.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to bring attention into the present moment. Motivational Interviewing helps people identify what matters most and move toward those goals. With nine years of clinical experience, Samantha draws on real-world practice in North Carolina.
Her background includes supporting people through trauma, parenting strain, postpartum depression, and relationship stresses. She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin patterns that shape current behavior. Sessions focus on immediate coping skills and longer-term change.
Samantha aims to help people reduce reactivity, manage impulsivity, and build routines that support sleep, mood, and daily functioning. She balances practical coaching with emotional support so progress feels manageable.

Approaches that guide online care and practical tools
Samantha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. She adjusts tools over time so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions let you work face-to-face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or you need a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between appointments, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
