About Samantha

Samantha De Felice is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family tensions, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and creates space for clients to say what they are feeling. Samantha wants the first step to feel do-able for someone who is worried or unsure.

In sessions she focuses on listening without judgment and on practical ways to manage emotions day to day.

Background and approach

Conversations are aimed at identifying small changes that can reduce stress and improve family interactions. She also helps people boost confidence and regain motivation when depression or low self-worth get in the way. Samantha is licensed in Florida as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and brings three years of professional experience to her practice.

That experience includes working directly with people who need help sorting through parenting decisions and family disagreements. Her approach centers on building a collaborative relationship where goals are clear and realistic. Samantha works alongside clients to test new skills between sessions and to adjust plans when something is not working.

She understands that starting therapy can feel difficult. Samantha aims to keep the process straightforward and respectful so parents and individuals can focus on the changes that matter most to them.

Practical therapy methods for family and parenting challenges

Samantha uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as breathing, grounding, and short routines that reduce overwhelm. These tools are practical to try at home and during busy family days.

She also draws on approaches that target thoughts and mood, helping people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced perspectives. This kind of work often helps with low self-esteem and depression by breaking down negative cycles into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to discover which techniques fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts plans based on what works or does not. Clients help set priorities and try strategies between sessions so progress is steady and measurable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it simpler to get support from home, during breaks, or between family commitments. The variety of formats helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing parenting and work responsibilities.
