How her approaches fit with online therapy
Samantha uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people manage anxiety and addiction. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs so conversations guide the plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors to reduce panic, worry, and low mood.She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques. Those skills can be practiced between sessions to reduce the intensity of panic attacks and improve coping with strong feelings. Together these approaches aim to give short, usable tools rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will talk through goals, past attempts, and current challenges, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients can give feedback and shift focus over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not list specific online formats for sessions, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT-based exercises for remote sessions so skills practice continues between meetings.
