About Samantheo
Samantheo Marcellus is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience in mental health and higher education settings. She has worked in academic and career counseling and with common concerns people bring to therapy. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, career questions, and anger.
Samantheo keeps sessions straightforward and interactive. She helps people look at the thoughts and beliefs that feed difficult feelings and unhelpful behavior. Then she works with them to identify practical steps already within their reach to change how they respond.
Her style is direct and person-focused. She aims to build a trusting working relationship and treats clients with respect. Conversations tend to focus on identifying patterns, trying different ways of responding, and tracking small changes over time.
In work with stress, anger, and relationship problems she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice triggers and practice alternatives to reacting. For parenting and career concerns she helps clients break issues into manageable steps and rehearse new skills.
Clients can expect sessions that combine reflection with concrete skill practice. The emphasis is on clear goals, usable strategies, and checking what works in everyday life. Samantheo invites people who are ready to take practical steps toward change to begin the process.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Samantheo uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. She focuses on approaches that examine the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and on skill practice that changes how people respond to stress and anger. These methods help with anxiety, mood challenges, relationship strain, and reactions that feel out of control.She also emphasizes behavioral skills training that breaks down actions into simple, repeatable steps. This helps with parenting routines, workplace stress, and managing strong emotions like anger. Skill rehearsal and short experiments between sessions show which changes are helpful in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means adjusting strategies based on what the client notices is working or not working.
