Samantha holds a master’s-level clinical credential and practices as an LPC-MHSP in Tennessee.

Sessions often center on real-life problems such as workplace issues, social anxiety, and panic disorder and panic attacks. She also helps people address attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and the stresses that come with separation or major life changes. Practical strategies and step-by-step plans are used alongside talking through emotions.
Samantha helps people who carry shame, guilt, or isolation, and those who are processing trauma and abuse or navigating pregnancy and childbirth challenges. She brings steady attention to how current patterns affect daily life and relationships. The work aims to increase coping skills and make everyday moments more manageable.
If someone wants to begin, Samantha asks them to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that works. She describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s goals guide the work.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety, panic, and trauma. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new responses; it helps people manage worry, social anxiety, and panic symptoms through practical exercises and gradual changes. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic memories and reducing their everyday impact by helping clients make sense of what happened and learn coping skills for flashbacks or intrusive thoughts. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with discussion of goals and regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjusting. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday can address immediate stress, and remote sessions can save travel time. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use audio-only calls when that feels easier. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling and format options that would work best for everyday routines.Areas of expertise
