01About Samantha
Samantha Whelan is an LPC who offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship strain. She keeps therapy practical and focused on real problems. Samantha writes tools and feedback into sessions so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
She brings 14 years of professional experience and time away raising her children to her practice. That break gave her a different view of everyday family pressures and the ebb and flow of life.
Background and approach
Those years informed how she talks with people about balance, roles, and expectations. Her work draws on client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. Samantha aims to help people spot patterns, test small changes, and build healthier habits in daily life.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with room to process emotions and past events. Earlier in her career she spent significant time supporting people with addiction and complex mental health concerns. That period shaped how she addresses the social, emotional, and practical impacts of those problems.
She emphasizes clear steps for coping, relapse prevention, and rebuilding routines. Samantha prefers a steady pace for change and helps clients identify where they are on the continuum of readiness. She works with issues such as grief, parenting, intimacy, anger, ADHD, mood disorders, and career-related stress.
Her style is direct, empathetic, and focused on what will help in everyday life.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and support so clients can explore feelings and decide what matters most to them. This approach helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, and processing grief.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan with the client based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to know which methods to keep using.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or save bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or practicing new skills between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
