About Samantha
Samantha DeJesus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Samantha listens to what is happening now, and she helps people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Clients can expect to talk about specific situations, test small changes between sessions, and reflect on what worked. Samantha guides people through steps they can try and then reviews results together.
She also addresses related issues such as guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, and building self-love. Those topics are handled with direct discussion and problem-solving strategies rather than abstract theory.
Samantha says taking a first step can feel hard, and she works at a steady pace people can follow. People who prefer concrete tools and short-term problem solving often find this approach helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so they match the caller's needs.
How Samantha applies CBT and client-focused work online
Samantha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that worsen stress and anxiety, then tries practical steps to change those responses. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, short-term goals, and measurable exercises to practice between meetings.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are led by the person's concerns and paced to their comfort. That approach helps people set the topics and goals, while Samantha listens and reflects to keep sessions focused and useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust her methods with the person. The process is collaborative and aimed at choosing techniques that fit the client's needs.
