Background and approach
Samantha uses a person-centered approach that draws on the client’s strengths. She pairs that with specific tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit a person’s goals. She may introduce mindfulness practices to help with focus and emotional regulation.
Her background includes work in both North Dakota and Minnesota as a licensed social worker. Samantha tailors sessions to each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. She encourages steady progress and small, achievable changes.
People who choose her often want clear strategies and a warm, steady presence in sessions. Samantha listens for patterns that cause problems and helps clients try different ways of coping. Together they set realistic goals and track what is working.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Samantha often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work puts the person’s goals first and creates space to talk through what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy uses practical exercises to notice patterns and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy into sessions when emotion regulation or impulsivity is a concern. DBT offers skills for managing strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are introduced collaboratively so the therapist and client decide together what fits best for the goal at hand.
Online therapy with Samantha is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and practicing skills with real-time feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between longer sessions or do brief skill rehearsals during a busy day.
The therapist will work with each person to pick formats and techniques that match their schedule, goals, and comfort level, adjusting as needed over time.
