Online support
Attachment-informed and evidence-based care online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how past attachments affect trust, closeness, and emotional safety in today’s relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to live by your values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and gives clear tools to change them, often helping with worry, low mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in, adapts techniques, and mixes approaches when that better meets a client's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth, and chat or text can help with brief check-ins, accountability, or when typing feels easier. These options let people work on attachment patterns, stress, and grief from wherever their routine allows, while keeping therapy consistent and flexible.
