Samantha Delisio, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Samantha

Samantha Delisio, LPC combines nine years of clinical work with a focus on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. She aims to make therapy a straightforward space where adults and children can talk about hard experiences and begin to feel steadier. Samantha uses clear, relationship-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of connecting and coping.

Her work centers on attachment and trauma-informed care.

Background and approach

She often looks at early relationships and childhood experiences to understand how they shape current feelings and behaviors. That perspective guides conversations about boundaries, self-esteem, intimacy, and family roles. Samantha also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to strengthen emotional regulation.

These tools are mixed with client-centered listening so the person’s goals lead the work. Practical exercises and short-term skill building are common parts of sessions. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University.

Her undergraduate degrees are a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation and Human Services and Communication Science and Disorders from The Pennsylvania State University. Samantha has experience supporting people with trauma, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, eating and body image issues, and ADHD.

She encourages a gradual, collaborative process that focuses on safer relationships and clearer daily coping.

How attachment and skills-based approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and responses. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating within daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace; the therapist reflects and responds so the client's goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes to behavior and routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process includes checking in about what helps, adjusting strategies, and introducing skills at a comfortable pace.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, keep shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online therapy can also let clients practice new skills and communication strategies in the context of everyday life while keeping scheduling flexible.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
