Sessions may be focused on building confidence, improving communication, managing anger or sleep problems, or navigating grief and trauma.

She offers person-centered, trauma-informed work and integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when appropriate.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Samantha commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps toward what matters, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical changes that improve mood and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and tailor methods to fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adjusted based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats aim to offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
