Renee Siebert
Hi! My name is Samantha Seligman, LCSW in NY and NJ. I have been a psychotherapist for 5 years. I received my Master's in Social Work in 2018. I work with adults with focuses on self-compassion work and DBT. I am a compassionate therapist with extensive experience in helping clients manage a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and relationship problems.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session with me, clients can expect to go through introductions and start building rapport. We will discuss important topics such as confidentiality and HIPAA regulations to ensure a clear understanding of privacy and trust. This initial session will set the foundation for a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a LCSW who has been a psychotherapist for 5 years. My background includes working in community mental health, case management, substance use outpatient services, and in direct practice. Throughout my career, I have utilized and implemented various evidence-based practices. Particularly, I have found that integrating self-compassion techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been incredibly effective in meeting clients' needs.

Compassion Focused
Throughout my career as a therapist, I have extensively utilized self-compassion techniques to help clients manage a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to stress and relationship problems. In my practice, I integrate a compassion-focused approach to create a supportive and empathetic environment. I prioritize establishing a strong therapeutic alliance where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. By gently exploring negative thoughts and behaviors and encouraging self-compassion, I help clients view their experiences without self-judgment. I empower clients with practical self-compassion skills, emphasizing that progress is a journey and self-kindness is essential for long-term change. Regular reflection and feedback are encouraged to adjust the approach as needed, ensuring clients feel supported throughout their therapeutic journey. Fostering a healing environment through self-compassion work promotes overall well-being and resilience.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My approach includes teaching the core DBT skills of distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. By helping clients develop these skills, I enable them to navigate crises, manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and stay present in the moment. Regular reflection and feedback are encouraged to adjust the approach as needed, ensuring clients feel supported throughout their therapeutic journey. Combining structured DBT techniques with compassion fosters a healing environment, promoting overall well-being and resilience.
