About Samantha

Samantha Prince is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, and trauma-related concerns. Samantha also lists focus areas that include codependency, intimacy struggles, grief, anger, and mood disorders.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck, practice new ways of responding, and set small practical goals. Her approach is direct and practical, with attention to how symptoms show up in daily life.

Samantha has spent much of her career working in addiction and trauma contexts. She helps people talk through relationship dynamics, manage cravings or impulses, and cope with the emotional fallout of past hurts. She also supports people facing body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and difficulties with trust and intimacy.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling lost in relationships can expect straightforward conversation and concrete skills to try between sessions. Samantha asks about values and routines, then helps build manageable steps toward clearer boundaries and steadier moods.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating emotion and tolerating distress, and is useful for strong mood swings, impulsivity, and relationship reactivity.

EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge. It is often used when past events continue to disrupt daily life and relationships. Samantha blends these methods with motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to match what each person needs in session.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and shortening travel time. If you want to confirm which session formats are available with Samantha, check the online therapy options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to pick times that fit into a busy day.
