About Samantha
Samantha Chaplin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar challenges, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps a person can try between sessions. Her approach is steady and encouraging for someone who feels stuck or overwhelmed.

Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, informs skills-based coaching for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change or struggling with substance use. As a social worker Samantha emphasizes strengths and gradual progress.
She helps people identify small, specific goals and builds simple strategies for daily life. That can mean practicing a new sleep routine, managing impulsive moments, or breaking a task into bite-size steps. Samantha offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Messaging is monitored Monday through Friday and she checks messages several times a day. Live session times vary but are often scheduled Tuesday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
She works from Maine as a LCSW, LICSW and brings a practical, compassionate style to short-term skill building and longer-term work. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session based on availability.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths, creating space for them to talk and decide what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs support sorting priorities and building motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions connect and teaches simple, practical skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping during stressful moments.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try strategies that fit. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls let a person use face-to-face time for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to keep things simple. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, journaling between sessions, and ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
