About Samantha
Samantha Chaplin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger, and related concerns. Samantha often supports clients facing relationship and family strain, parenting pressures, ADHD, panic and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and she practices from Maine.
Samantha works in a straightforward, practical way. She starts by listening and helping people identify what’s getting in the way of daily functioning. Then she teaches skills people can use right away, such as emotion regulation, thought-challenging, and grounding strategies. Conversations focus on what is useful in the moment and what can reduce tension over time.
Her methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. She also integrates mindfulness and some neuroscience-informed ideas to explain how stress affects thinking and behavior. The mix of approaches is meant to help with anger, impulsive responses, and habits that keep problems stuck.
Sessions move at a practical pace. People learn tools for managing frustration at work, lowering the intensity of arguments, and coping with someone else’s anger. Homework and skill practice are normal parts of the work to build better responses between sessions.
Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details. Samantha does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Samantha uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques for reducing anger, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness to reduce reactive responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions include skill practice and short between-session tasks so people can test new ways of responding to frustration and conflict.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break at work, or video-free sessions can reduce bandwidth and make it easier to focus on skill practice. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people apply new strategies in everyday situations without needing to travel.
