About Samantha
Samantha Morrigan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with four years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and codependency-related patterns. She also supports people struggling with body image and eating issues, grief, intimacy concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Samantha blends straightforward conversation with light humor and a direct style. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She talks through coping skills for intense feelings, helps clarify patterns that leave someone putting others first, and practices ways to set boundaries that feel doable.
She has experience with LGBT clients and with people from internet, gaming, and alternative culture communities. Samantha also notes work with neurodiverse clients, those managing mood changes related to medical weight management, and people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In session she uses these ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts, test small behavior changes, and strengthen emotional regulation skills.
Samantha uses TavaHealth for most insurance plans and Headway for Aetna and Cigna. All sessions require sign up with TavaHealth or Headway. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How sessions work
How Samantha’s approaches translate to online sessions
Samantha uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current interaction patterns and trust. That approach can help when someone struggles with people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or difficulty asking for what they need.She also draws on Client-Centered methods, which prioritize listening and responding to each person’s experience, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments to change behavior. These approaches are useful for anxiety, low mood, and codependency-related patterns.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Samantha reviews needs, goals, and preferences with each person and adjusts work as things evolve. She aims to pick strategies that fit a person’s life and pace rather than forcing a single method.
The original biography notes use of insurance platforms TavaHealth and Headway and requires sign up with those services. The profile does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be easier to keep up with.
