Samantha Aggeles, LPC - Therapist in South Carolina

About Samantha

Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges related to mood and behavior. Her style is straightforward and strengths-based, aiming to empower clients to make changes that feel manageable day to day.

Samantha uses practical tools and steady support rather than abstract talk. She listens first, then helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Her work often includes skills for coping with intense emotions, reducing unhelpful thinking patterns, and managing stress that comes from life transitions. Her training includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change thought patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories are part of the picture.

Motivational interviewing and a client-centered stance guide how she tailors goals to each person’s priorities. Many who seek her help are looking for clear strategies and a calm, steady clinician to guide them through difficult moments. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill practice, and slowly building confidence to handle problems more independently.

Background and approach: Samantha holds the SC LPC 7715 license and blends evidence-based methods with a collaborative attitude. She addresses a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, codependency, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality and mood disorders, and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination. Work may include symptom-focused skills, narrative work about life events, or trauma processing when appropriate.

Online approaches that match your needs

Client-centered therapy emphasizes working from the client’s own strengths and goals. It involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person, which helps when life feels overwhelming or unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors because it teaches practical techniques to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It is often used for mood instability, strong anger, and patterns of acting on difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she tailors which methods to use and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility helps people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage care around work or family, and stay connected when travel or time makes in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, process difficult experiences, and track progress over time.

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.

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.
