About Samantha

Samantha Chaplin offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or major life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on small, useful steps so parents and busy adults can build resilience without extra jargon. Samantha uses clear tools to help clients manage mood, sleeping, anger, and day-to-day coping.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience and also holds a LICSW credential.

Background and approach

Samantha centers sessions on each person’s strengths and goals. She listens closely and helps people map out realistic strategies they can try between meetings. Typical tools include thought-behavior work, practical skills for regulating emotion, and motivational techniques to handle substance use or low motivation.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas with client-centered conversation. That means she helps people test unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and practice ways to manage strong feelings. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs support finding reasons to change and sticking with new habits.

Samantha also pays attention to aging concerns, panic attacks, social anxiety, and the specific stressors parents face. She has worked in clinical settings across Maine for many years and brings a down-to-earth style to each session. Practical skills and short experiments are emphasized over long lectures.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Samantha checks messages during the weekday and uses brief written check-ins between sessions when helpful. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to pair people with the right time and format.

How Samantha Uses Practical Therapies Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. The therapist follows the person’s concerns and helps them set goals that feel relevant and realistic. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort priorities and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Samantha helps people test and change unhelpful thinking and build small behavior changes that improve mood and sleeping. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha discusses options and tries methods that fit a person’s goals and comfort level. She adjusts tools over time based on what works and what doesn’t, and she invites feedback after each step. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use full visual cues and a deeper session feel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel without losing continuity.
