About Samantha

Samantha Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and questions about life purpose. Her practice also addresses mood difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes.

Samantha uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in each person's experience. She listens for what matters most and helps people name the problems they want to address. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and to practice different ways of responding.

In sessions she talks through practical steps you can try between meetings. That can include small behavior changes, thought records, or communication exercises for strained relationships. She helps people sort through issues like attachment difficulties, family of origin concerns, and workplace stress. She also supports those facing divorce, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and process or substance addictions.

Samantha has worked with a wide range of mood and anxiety presentations, including panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to the effects of guilt, shame, and self-esteem on everyday decisions. Her approach balances listening with concrete strategies so people can notice small changes over time.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida. Samantha uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the site's online options.

How her approaches translate to online work

Samantha uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on what matters to the client. That approach means the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's concerns so goals emerge from those discussions. It can help when someone feels unsure what to change or where to begin.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that reinforce anxiety, low mood, or addictive patterns. CBT involves trying specific exercises and small behavioral shifts between sessions, useful for tackling panic, mood problems, and workplace stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision happens in early sessions and can be adjusted over time based on what is or isn't helpful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time to appointments.
