About Samantha

Samantha Prince is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical therapy that families and parents can use. She uses clear tools and steady support to address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. Samantha keeps language simple and sessions goal-oriented so parents can fit therapy into busy lives.

Samantha holds a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC. She brings 11 years of experience working with people facing mood disorders, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

Her background also includes attention to complex concerns such as bipolar symptoms, addiction, and coping with major life changes. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. She adapts these methods to meet practical needs rather than using jargon-heavy explanations.

Sessions focus on skills, short-term goals, and concrete next steps. Samantha emphasizes building rapport first. Early work centers on understanding what matters most to each person, then designing an individualized plan.

She aims to make starting therapy less stressful and more manageable for people who are tentative about reaching out. Samantha practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is straightforward and warm, intended for parents looking for usable strategies and steady guidance through difficult changes.

How evidence-based methods work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that keep problems going. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related difficulties through practical exercises and homework.

DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. It is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts. EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha works collaboratively to match methods to a persons needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options plainly and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule, follow up between sessions, and continue work during life transitions. The variety of options helps people access support in ways that suit their daily routine and comfort level.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
