Reaching out for help takes courage, but rest assured, you've already demonstrated strength by being here. Hi, I’m Samantha. I'm an LMHC based in Florida and have over a decade of experience working with teens and adults who are often seeking help for anxiety, stress, or depression while others are looking for guidance on how to cope with everyday stressors, challenging relationships, or adjusting to major life transitions. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be unapologetically you. Together, we will manage overwhelming stress, overcome unexpected changes, and dial down big emotions. My clients say they enjoy my sense of humor, down to earth attitude, and appreciate my understanding, open-mindedness, and being direct when needed.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and any specific goals or concerns you have. I'll explain how the therapeutic process works and answer any questions you may have during our time together. We'll explore your background, including family history and past experiences. Getting to know you will allow me to gain a better understanding of your unique situation so I can tailor our sessions to best meet your needs. Overall, the focus is on creating a comfortable and supportive environment where you'll feel confident working through the challenges you're experiencing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm dedicated to providing compassionate, effective, and personalized care to help you feel understood, empowered, and ready to take on whatever life throws your way. I genuinely connect with my clients on an emotional level. My goal is to understand where you're coming from without judgment and create a safe space where you can share about your struggles. Every client is unique, and I respect that diversity. Whether it's cultural background, personal beliefs, or life experiences, I make sure to approach each client with an open mind and a willingness to learn from them. I see therapy as a partnership. We'll work together to set goals and find strategies that fit you. I approach each session with flexibility and adapt to meet your changing needs by providing supportive guidance that evolves alongside your progress.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. We'll identify any negative thought patterns and work on challenging and changing them to improve your mood and behavior. Through collaboration and practical techniques, I’ll help you develop skills to cope with challenges and live a more fulfilling life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered approach during sessions that focus on you and your experience. I'll provide a supportive and empathetic environment where you can explore your feelings and thoughts without judgment. Together, we'll work on increasing self-awareness and understanding, empowering you to make positive changes in your life based on your own values and goals.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories and negative experiences. During EMDR sessions, you'll focus on distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. This process helps reframe and integrate these memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping you develop healthier responses.
