Samantha also helps people work through communication problems and the fallout from relationship endings.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for anxiety and trauma include cognitive-behavioral approaches and trauma-informed strategies. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at patterns of thinking and behavior and use practical exercises to test new ways of coping; these methods can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and workplace stress. Trauma-informed techniques focus on safety and pacing while helping people process difficult memories and reduce symptom impact.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels workable. That conversation guides whether to focus more on thinking-and-behavior strategies, trauma-focused work, or other evidence-based techniques that fit the person’s needs.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm available session options before booking to know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit phone or video sessions if those formats are offered, helping people keep therapy manageable around work and family commitments.
