About Samantha
Samantha Delisio is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and with children on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Samantha uses a blend of approaches that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed work, and person-centered methods. She emphasizes understanding how childhood experiences shape current patterns. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing different ways of responding in everyday life.
She also draws on dialectical strategies and existential ideas to help people manage strong emotions and find practical meaning in difficult choices. For caregivers of young children she uses Child-Parent Psychotherapy principles, working with caregivers and children together through play and interaction when appropriate.
Samantha earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University. She also holds dual bachelor degrees from The Pennsylvania State University in Rehabilitation and Human Services and Communication Science and Disorders.
Her work tends to be structured and goal-focused. Sessions typically include talking through recent problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions. People who want concrete tools and clear steps often find this approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Samantha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT focuses on concrete skills and small behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses an attachment-informed approach to look at how early relationships influence current connections. This work often centers on patterns in close relationships, communication problems, and repairing emotional bonds. Client-centered methods form the basis of conversations that follow the client’s concerns and pace, helping people feel heard while working toward specific goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That may mean emphasizing CBT skills for immediate coping or shifting toward attachment work for relationship patterns.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to include caregivers for child‑parent focused sessions when appropriate. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to the online setting while focusing on practical steps that fit daily life.
