About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a calm, steady space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. Samantha aims to help clients use their existing strengths to find clearer ways forward.
She uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's priorities first. Sessions look at what is working now and what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Samantha draws on practical tools to help with mood shifts, panic, obsessive thoughts, and overwhelming stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her work to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people coping with traumatic memories. Samantha pays attention to issues that often occur together, such as co-morbidity, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with identity-based stress like prejudice and discrimination as part of the bigger picture.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is set to match therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Samantha commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify goals and change unhelpful thoughts. Client-Centered work means sessions follow the person's priorities and use their existing strengths. CBT involves noticing patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and relationship patterns are a focus. DBT teaches concrete tools for handling intense feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication. Together these approaches offer a mix of listening, validation, and hands-on skill practice in session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time so the plan fits. Clients are invited to give feedback and try different techniques until they find what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life.
