About Samantha

Samantha Schwartz uses straightforward, collaborative therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship problems. She brings 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and aims to make sessions practical and focused on everyday life. Samantha speaks English and grounds work in real steps clients can try between sessions.

Her main approaches are client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. In sessions she listens first, then helps people identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going.

Background and approach

That often leads to concrete tools for handling panic, low mood, or overwhelming worry. Samantha commonly supports people facing life changes like divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, or shifts at work. She also helps with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviors.

Conversations cover what is happening now and what small changes could feel achievable. Her style is warm and practical. Sessions may include learning new coping skills, trying different ways to respond to triggers, and tracking progress over time.

She aims to help clients build resilience and clearer goals for their lives. Clients connect by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging, which she uses to fit therapy into busy schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

How client-centered and CBT work online

Samantha uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting the person's goals guide the work. It helps when someone needs validation, clearer priorities, or space to make sense of painful feelings.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce symptoms like panic attacks, low mood, or persistent worry. Sessions often include simple exercises and small homework tasks to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will suggest options, try techniques, and check in about what feels useful. Together the client and therapist decide what to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and how the work is going.

Online therapy formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
