About Samala
Samala Wallack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on relationship strain, family concerns, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, stress, career pressures, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Samala also works with people dealing with codependency and other related patterns.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens to what is happening now and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions mix clear skills and short experiments with open conversation about values, choices, and what matters most.
Samala blends Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She uses Solution-Focused techniques to help people set small, doable goals. That often looks like identifying one change to try between sessions and checking what worked.
Her background includes work across child welfare, vocational rehabilitation, in-home therapy, residential treatment, and outpatient settings. Those roles shaped how she talks about systems, caretaking roles, and stress that comes from supporting others.
People who come to her can expect direct questions and practical takeaways. She helps clients practice boundary skills, decision-making, and clearer communication. Samala asks about daily routines and pressures so that plans fit real life.
Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through an initial matching process. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment to get started.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own direction; it helps when people want clearer sense of values and personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses simple tools to change them; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive patterns like people-pleasing. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building small, workable reasons to try something different.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and everyday constraints, and then suggest steps to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made or as needs change.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people use tools and worksheets during a session and apply new skills to real-world moments between appointments.
