About Samantha
Samantha Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties. She works with adults facing grief, parenting strain, trauma, mood disorders, and problems with self‑esteem and guilt and shame.
She takes a straightforward, talk‑focused approach. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past experiences affect current feelings and choices. Samantha uses practical tools alongside open listening to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her work includes support for pregnancy and childbirth concerns, separation or divorce, workplace stress, and family of origin issues. She also addresses addictions broadly, including substance use and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive sexual behavior.
Clients can expect conversations about attachment and communication, and concrete steps to manage panic, low mood, or overwhelming worry. Samantha draws on Client‑Centered Therapy to center the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Sessions are paced according to what each person needs, with attention to real‑life obstacles like time and daily demands. People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their situation.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and reflecting what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs to talk through painful memories, guilt, or questions about identity and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple experiments and skills to break unhelpful cycles. CBT can be useful for panic, low mood, worry, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then they will try different techniques together. That collaborative selection helps make sessions feel practical and relevant to day‑to‑day life.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten a check‑in when time is limited, or avoid travel on a hectic day. Licensed professionals who offer virtual sessions commonly use this flexibility to help people keep therapy consistent while handling real‑world demands.
