About Samantha
Samantha Ju Young Nam is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Georgia with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and anger. She offers counseling that respects clients' spiritual beliefs and personal values.
Her approach combines Christian counseling with practical psychological tools. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative work is used to separate a person from painful stories they tell about themselves and to open up new meanings.
She also includes mindfulness practices to help with tense moments and bodily reactions. These skills support managing anger, reducing rumination, and calming the nervous system. When clients want it, faith and spirituality are woven into sessions in ways they find comfortable.
Sessions often focus on clear, doable steps people can try between appointments. Conversations may look at communication patterns, control struggles, attachment wounds, or issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Samantha encourages small experiments in daily life to test new ways of relating and reacting.
Clients who have gone through separation, persistent loneliness, or mood concerns can expect direct, practical sessions that address both feelings and actions. She speaks English and Korean and blends evidence-based techniques with attention to each person’s beliefs and goals.
How her approaches translate to online care
Many of her methods are straightforward to use in virtual sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes, which can be practiced and reviewed in video or phone meetings. Narrative therapy helps people reframe painful stories about themselves by talking through episodes and noticing different interpretations. Mindfulness work teaches attention to bodily sensations and breathing. Those exercises are brief and can be led during an online meeting or assigned as short daily practices to try between sessions. Each approach targets issues like anxiety, anger flare-ups, relationship tension, and trauma reactions in practical ways. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, faith considerations, and everyday demands to decide which techniques to try. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions can shift toward what feels most useful. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online care can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use brief check-ins when needed.
