How Samantha's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques that help people spot and shift thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. These techniques teach concrete coping skills such as identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing alternative responses.She also uses narrative approaches that help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work can be useful for resolving lingering shame, guilt, and identity conflicts after separation or trauma. Mindfulness practices are another core part of her toolbox and focus on body awareness and simple breath-based skills to lower reactivity and support emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with clients to choose strategies that match their goals, spiritual values, and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
