About Samantha
Samantha Norton is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, depression, anger, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps clients can use day to day.
Samantha uses straightforward talk therapy and active techniques. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used for managing strong emotions and impulsivity.
Her approach is direct and collaborative. She helps clients set short goals, practice new responses, and track what works. For someone dealing with anger or resentment, she will work on recognizing triggers, interrupting automatic reactions, and building clearer communication skills.
Samantha also brings motivational interviewing into sessions when people are working through substance use or ambivalence about change. That method helps clarify values and strengthen the choice to try new behaviors. She includes grounding and breathing exercises from mindfulness to reduce intense states in the moment.
People can expect concrete strategies, short exercises to try between sessions, and regular review of progress. Samantha asks about everyday routines, relationships, and coping patterns to shape practical next steps. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals.
How Samantha uses therapy approaches online
Samantha commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helping people with anger and strong emotions. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns that feed anger, and it helps develop practical behavior changes. DBT teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication, which can reduce impulsive reactions.She also uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, making decisions about which methods to try together. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process: Samantha reviews goals, tests approaches, and adjusts plans based on what helps the client make steady changes.
