About Samantha
Samantha Schwartz is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered approach and cognitive behavioral tools to help people cope with hard times. She brings 20 years of experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. Samantha keeps sessions simple and clear.
She listens first, then helps people identify what is getting in the way and what small steps might work. She explains ideas in plain language and works with each person to build practical skills for daily life.
Background and approach
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including panic and mood disorders, grief and life changes, parenting strain, and problems tied to family of origin. She also supports people facing divorce, substance and process addictions, and issues related to pregnancy and childbirth. Samantha blends a warm, accepting stance with focused strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy.
That means she balances open listening with structured practices to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. People leave sessions with concrete tools to try between meetings. Based in Florida, Samantha draws on two decades of practice to tailor plans to each person’s needs.
She aims to help clients reconnect with their values, reduce overwhelming feelings, and move toward more manageable days.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Samantha uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers; it is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or anxiety and then builds step-by-step practices to change them.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Samantha will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether more open listening, structured skill work, or a mix of both will be best for progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing check-ins and brief coping support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the approaches that best match the client’s situation.
