About Samantha

Samantha Prince is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood problems including depression and bipolar disorder. She uses a mix of approaches and focuses on building rapport and clear communication to guide treatment.

Samantha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolbox for change-oriented work.

In sessions she prioritizes a direct and practical style. She works with clients to set achievable goals and develops steps to reach them. Conversations cover current problems, coping strategies, and skills practice to manage symptoms between meetings.

She has substantial experience in addiction-related care and in addressing relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem, chronic illness or pain, and issues like control, codependency, and communication problems.

Samantha offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Samantha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced through structured conversations and homework assignments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening interpersonal effectiveness in day-to-day life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for trauma-related symptoms and involves focusing techniques and guided processing to reduce the impact of traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, current difficulties, and preferences to decide which methods to prioritize. Plans can shift over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use virtual work to deliver skills practice, check progress between meetings, and keep therapy consistent when life becomes hectic.
