About Samantha
Samantha Synett is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague promises.
Sam blends clinical therapy with coaching-style accountability. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations move between identifying stuck points and practicing new skills for everyday life.
Her style is direct and collaborative. Clients are invited to ask questions and take an active role in planning treatment. She also brings tools from attachment-based work to address abandonment, family of origin issues, and communication problems.
Sam has experience with people affected by trauma and serious health challenges, including oncology and hospice settings, and she has worked with service members and veterans and college students. She integrates clinical approaches with coaching around boundaries, decision-making, and assertive communication when helpful.
Her practice includes attention to identity and systemic concerns such as LGBTQ matters and health equity. Sam encourages practical advocacy skills so people can better navigate work, caregiving, and relationship demands.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and people who struggle with people-pleasing or codependent patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, sleep problems, and changing day-to-day habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current trust, boundaries, and closeness, which can help with abandonment and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift between skills practice, exploring relationship patterns, and coaching-style work on boundaries and decision-making depending on what the client wants to focus on.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes shorter check-ins easier during a lunch break, and lets them try techniques from home without needing extra travel time. The therapist will discuss which format makes most sense during the first scheduling steps and adjust plans as needed.
