About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Samantha also addresses eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career-related stress, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach starts with a client-centered framework. That means she builds on what a person already does well and uses those strengths to set goals and plan changes. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life challenges rather than abstract theory.
Samantha integrates several evidence-informed methods depending on a person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma processing is appropriate, and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
People who struggle with codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, or obsessive patterns may find her style useful. She also addresses panic, phobias, personality concerns, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on mental health.
Samantha aims to help people get clearer about what they want and to practice concrete skills that fit daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How sessions work
How the approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and using a person’s strengths to set goals. Online sessions can be a place to talk through immediate problems, plan changes, and practice new responses in everyday situations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this often means identifying patterns, trying short exercises between meetings, and reviewing what worked in real life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be taught and practiced across sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-in visits when needed, and remove travel time so meetings can happen around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to assign brief between-meeting practice and to track changes over time.
