About Samantha
Samantha Dunn is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on stress, anxiety, ADHD, and the everyday overwhelm that comes with parenting and life change. She writes in a calm, straightforward way and helps people who feel exhausted by the daily juggling of responsibilities.
Samantha’s style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help clients find practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She uses simple tools and clear plans rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Sessions typically look like a conversation about what’s not working, followed by small, usable strategies to test between meetings. She pays attention to how thoughts, habits, and relationships shape mood and energy, and coaches clients toward routines that fit their lives. Samantha draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and focus.
She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s goals, and motivational interviewing when people want support making changes. Trauma-focused approaches are available when past experiences are part of current struggles. With nine years of practice as an LCSW, Samantha combines experience with straightforward problem solving.
She helps people sort through sleep problems, anger, grief, and career stress as well as parenting strain and relationship tensions. Sessions aim to leave people with one or two clear actions to try before the next meeting. Samantha practices from North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.
People connect with her by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site’s process. The focus is on finding small, sustainable shifts that fit each person’s life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered work means sessions begin with the person's priorities and move at their pace; the therapist listens closely and helps shape goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that cause stress and then practicing small changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus, which can be helpful for anxiety, sleep trouble, and ADHD-related distractibility.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try one method, and adjust based on what helps. That means plans can shift over time and combine techniques so the work matches needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful when you want face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, keep continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most practical.
