About Samantha
Samantha Selby is a licensed professional counselor with four years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with clients who want to build self-esteem, regain motivation, and cope with big life changes. She also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue and related burnout concerns.
Samantha creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what’s on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps - small changes that can make day-to-day life feel easier.
Background and approach
She uses everyday language and clear goals so people know what to try between meetings. Her approach centers on listening first and then working together to set priorities. Conversations cover coping skills, thought patterns, and ways to rebuild confidence.
She pays attention to how stress shows up in work, money matters, and relationships and tailors suggestions to each person’s life. Clients can expect straightforward guidance on problem-solving and emotional regulation. Samantha supports people who want to clarify life purpose or improve communication at work and home.
She also addresses issues common to young adults and women, including financial stress and workplace strain. Samantha is licensed in Tennessee as an LPC-MHSP and offers help in English. Getting started usually means identifying a few immediate goals and trying simple, concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and increase daily functioning.
Approaches that fit online care
Samantha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional coping. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to manage anxiety in the moment. These tools help when stress spikes at work or home and give concrete steps to try between sessions.Another approach focuses on rebuilding self-esteem through small, achievable goals and changes to how people talk to themselves. This method helps with motivation, confidence, and decisions about life direction or work. Both approaches are action-oriented and translate well to remote sessions because exercises can be practiced and reviewed between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face from wherever they are, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or camera time is unwanted. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, and ongoing support without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
