About Samantha
Samantha Prince is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and other mood and coping concerns. She speaks English and does not accept international clients.
Samantha focuses on straightforward, skills-based work. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, emotion regulation, and patterns that fuel repeated conflicts. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to support people processing difficult memories, and motivational interviewing to address substance use and readiness for change.
In sessions she prioritizes building a working connection and clear communication. That means practical goals, concrete strategies, and regular check-ins about what is or is not helping. She aims to make the first steps into therapy easier to manage.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas: self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar and mood disorders, coping with life transitions, and problems such as codependency, control issues, impulsivity, and jealousy. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability when these affect mood and relationships.
Samantha’s approach is direct and task-focused. Sessions often include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and guided processing of past experiences when that's appropriate. She works collaboratively with each person to decide what to prioritize and how to measure progress.
How Samantha uses CBT, DBT, and EMDR online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises between sessions and practical tools to reduce worry, irritability, and unhelpful reactions to stress.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It is useful for learning distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer ways to handle conflicts that repeatedly escalate.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories that continue to cause intense reactions. Sessions include guided processing techniques intended to lessen the emotional charge of those memories over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made together.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is offered for live work. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also allow choosing not to use video when bandwidth is limited or a shorter phone check-in is preferable. These practical options help people keep therapy consistent with daily life without assuming a particular format is provided.
