About Samantha
Samantha Schwartz is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She works with individuals facing addiction, relationship strain, grief, and mood challenges. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, focusing on what a person needs right now.
Samantha uses conversation and straightforward tools to reduce symptoms like panic and persistent worry. She helps people build coping skills for depression, workplace stress, and problems at home.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clearer communication, healthier routines, and small, realistic steps forward. She pays attention to how early family experiences and attachment patterns shape current behavior. That helps when someone is dealing with family conflict, divorce, or issues rooted in their family of origin.
Samantha also supports people working through recovery from drug, alcohol, or process addictions. Pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting challenges are part of her experience, as are concerns around guilt, shame, and life purpose. She aims to help people reconnect with strengths they may have lost sight of.
Work together can include exploring values and rebuilding self-esteem. Samantha offers a mix of listening and concrete strategies drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She guides people to test new ways of thinking and behaving, then adjust based on real results.
Her goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
How Samantha Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead to uncover needs and strengths. It helps people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings about stress, relationships, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical exercises to reduce panic, manage anxiety, and change patterns that keep someone stuck.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and may combine approaches as progress becomes clear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports ongoing work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
