About Samantha

Samantha aims to create a calm, strengths-based space where practical steps come before jargon.

She writes and speaks plainly so parents can understand options quickly. Samantha earned her Bachelor of Science at Bemidji State University and completed graduate training in Rehabilitation Counseling at St.

Background and approach

Cloud State University. She began her career managing group homes and adult foster care programs and later worked in school-based roles. Her background includes work as a CTSS practitioner, ARMHS worker, and as a Mental Health Professional and Clinical Trainee.

She has direct experience providing individual and group therapy in schools, office settings, online, and at a juvenile detention center. Much of her earlier practice focused on adolescents and young adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and transitional life challenges. She also has national training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which informed her approach to trauma-related difficulties.

Currently she works weekdays as an adult mental health case manager and is returning to online therapy to broaden her adult practice. Samantha uses a laid-back, strengths-minded style. Sessions tend to focus on identifying what’s already working, then practicing small, real-life changes parents and caregivers can try between visits.

Her Minnesota LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) credential guides her work and she conducts sessions in English for people located in Minnesota.

How Samantha Uses Therapy Tools Online

Samantha commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client so they feel understood and can decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and realistic for home life and parenting demands.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to connect from home, handle short check-ins, or work around school and work routines. The variety of formats supports flexible, ongoing progress without requiring in-person travel.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
