About Samantha
Samantha Norton is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can follow along. Samantha aims to help people take small steps that make day-to-day life easier.
In sessions she listens first and then works with each person to set short-term, practical goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety or anger.
Background and approach
Samantha also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s priorities. For people facing substance use or relapse concerns, she blends motivational interviewing techniques to build motivation and plan next steps. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and impulsivity are central problems.
Mindfulness exercises are introduced to help manage panic, racing thoughts, and stress reactions. Samantha has six years of experience as an LMHC and supports people working through trauma, relationship stress, and major life changes. She speaks English and practices in Florida.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward - she explains options and checks in on what feels useful. Work typically focuses on concrete skills you can use between sessions. Samantha helps people notice triggers, practice different responses, and track small improvements over time.
She encourages realistic steps toward feeling more in control and more like themselves again.

How Samantha’s approaches fit with online therapy
Samantha uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what matters most to the person. This approach centers the conversation on each person’s goals and preferences, which helps shape session topics and homework tasks. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or mood swings; it provides clear exercises and strategies to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will discuss options and try things collaboratively, adjusting methods based on what the person needs and what feels helpful. She treats the choice of tools as a team decision rather than a fixed prescription, and checks in regularly about progress and fit.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or when someone prefers typed communication. The variety of formats makes it easier to keep momentum and try different ways of working together.
