Samm Panos
My father took us to Mexico and supplied families with food, shelter, and clothing, started a medical clinic, and provided an ambulance. He was a natural social worker, and I caught the bug. I enjoy hearing people's stories and working with them to use their strengths to make their lives better.

First session
I let the clients tell me about themselves, what brought them to counseling, and how I can help.
Strengths
I like to hear what the client's strengths are and build on those to help them look at possible solutions. I want the client to feel supported and have a relaxed therapeutic relationship. I ask the client how I can help and how they will know when they no longer need counseling. What will be in their life and what will they be doing?
Ideal clients
I have worked with cancer patients, Alzheimer's, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence, adolescents, postpartum challenges, epilepsy, grief, work-related stress, divorce, LGBTQIA and transgender clients, and inner child work.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, strengths-based approaches, short-term therapy, and family systems work to support clients in reaching their goals.
