About Samantha
Samantha Dunn is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, career questions, depression, and coaching. She speaks English and works with adults who are managing these issues.
Samantha takes a practical, straightforward approach. She helps parents and caregivers notice thought patterns and daily habits that make stress worse. Together they try concrete strategies that fit a busy schedule. Sessions focus on small experiments people can try between meetings.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change responses. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals. Mindfulness tools are offered to help with emotional regulation and attention issues.
Samantha brings trauma-focused methods and motivational interviewing into the room when needed. That means addressing painful events carefully and helping people find their own motivation for change. She aims to make tools useful for day-to-day parenting demands and life transitions.
Practical details are part of the plan. Samantha describes options and next steps clearly, and she uses brief check-ins to track progress. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled following that step.
How Samantha Uses Structured Approaches Online
Samantha commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on identifying specific thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in each person's goals. That approach prioritizes the client's perspective and helps decide which practical strategies to try next. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to support attention, emotion regulation, and managing stress in daily life through short practices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in on how tools are working and adjusts the plan together.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so clients are asked to verify current online options when arranging care. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering quiet, uninterrupted time that works with childcare and work breaks.
