Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, body image concerns, and family of origin issues. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented. Samantha uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with manageable habits.
Conversations tend to include skill practice, short-term plans, and concrete goals you can try between sessions. Samantha pays attention to cultural background and women’s issues when relevant. She aims to help people reconnect with strengths that may have been buried by ongoing problems.
The work often focuses on improving daily routines, emotional awareness, and communication skills. For people dealing with addiction, anger, ADHD, or compassion fatigue, Samantha emphasizes steps that reduce immediate risk and build a steadier life.

Approaches Samantha lists

Online approaches that focus on skills and change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps you spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that keep coming back.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy lets people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, follow-up questions, or when journaling-style communication feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep a steady schedule and practice new skills between sessions.
