About Samantha
Samantha Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency concerns. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
In the therapy room she keeps things straightforward. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Conversations cover thoughts, behaviors, and how relationships influence day-to-day life.
Samantha often helps people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries. She also supports those managing caregiver stress, body image concerns, isolation, and difficulties around commitment or infidelity. When autism or Asperger Syndrome is part of someone's life, she considers how that shapes relationships and stress responses.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. Sessions tend to focus on specific problems, practical tools, and building communication or boundary skills people can use between meetings. She works with people on relationship struggle without promising to fix another person or the relationship itself.
People who choose Samantha can expect a mix of skills practice and talk. She will discuss next steps and track progress together. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches explained for online care
Evidence-based techniques are central to her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is often used for stress, worry, low mood, and patterns that feed people-pleasing behaviors.She also uses other evidence-based approaches that look at relationships and attachment. These methods help people notice how early patterns or fears of abandonment shape current relationships and intimacy. They can be useful for people who struggle with boundaries or feel drawn to put others first.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist work together to find practical steps and measure progress over time.

Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving responsibilities.
