About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and anger. Samantha also supports clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, eating issues, self-esteem, career questions, and mood-related conditions.
Her approach begins by listening and using the strengths a person already has. She follows a client-centered framework to shape sessions around each person's goals. That means the conversation focuses on what matters to the client and builds practical steps from there.
Samantha draws on a mix of methods depending on the situation. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thinking and behavior. She applies dialectical behavior strategies to teach coping skills for intense emotions and impulsivity. She also offers EMDR-informed work for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
In sessions she helps people talk through immediate problems and plan manageable changes. That can include learning tools for anger and frustration, developing steps for grief or life transitions, or managing symptoms tied to mood disorders and anxiety. She works with overlapping issues like codependency, caregiver stress, and shame.
People who choose Samantha get straightforward, skills-focused meetings. She aims to help people identify clear goals, practice new responses during sessions, and track progress week to week. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and remote work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's strengths and priorities. It means the therapist listens first and helps shape goals that matter to the client, which fits well when someone wants to reduce anger or manage strong feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. It helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and repetitive thinking by teaching practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for handling intense emotions and impulsive behavior. It teaches techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication during heated moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That choice can shift as progress is made.
