How Samantha’s approaches translate to online work

Samantha draws from client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, and narrative therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps when sorting through career doubts or relationship choices. Mindfulness therapy adds simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings so they interrupt unhelpful patterns rather than drive behavior. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to open up new options.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Samantha approaches choice of methods collaboratively, asking about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together a plan is made and adjusted as needs change, with clear goals and steps to try between sessions.
