About Samantha
Samantha Reuther is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, and problems related to addiction. She makes a point of listening carefully and responding without judgment. Samantha aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous about seeking help.
She uses straightforward talk and practical techniques to address mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, building coping skills, and finding small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
People often work on managing intense feelings, improving self-esteem, and handling major life changes. Samantha integrates evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also brings client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice their experience and choose different responses.
Motivational interviewing is used when people are ready to change habits related to substance use or other addictive behaviors. With about 10 years of experience, she has worked with concerns ranging from relationship and intimacy-related issues to trauma and mood disorders.
She has additional experience with first responder and veteran issues, domestic violence, pregnancy and childbirth, and process addictions like gambling or compulsive sexual behaviors. Samantha practices in New York as an LMHC. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate to online care
Samantha often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety or fuel anger. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that are easy to review during video or messaging sessions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be practiced in short phone check-ins or reviewed in text-based messaging between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. She will adjust strategies over time based on what helps most and what feels doable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited transportation. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging make brief updates and skill practice easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it possible to continue regular care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
