About Samantha
Samantha Schwartz is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma, and depression. She works with individuals facing parenting strain, grief, family conflict, and major life changes.
Samantha uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes skills people can use right away to reduce panic, improve mood, or handle work and family stress.
Her background includes long-term practice with mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic internet use.
Samantha combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods. That means she helps identify thinking patterns that keep problems going, and she also listens to understand each persons priorities. Together with clients she outlines achievable goals and specific exercises to practice between sessions.
Practical concerns like communication problems, attachment issues, workplace stress, and substance use are part of her caseload. She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on measurable change rather than abstract talk. Her work is grounded in two decades of experience in Florida clinical settings.
How Samantha applies CBT and client-centered work online
Samantha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and short exercises that can reduce panic, ease anxiety, and change unhelpful habits.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the persons goals and perspective. That approach involves listening closely to what matters most to the client and shaping goals together in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. Samantha will review your needs, goals, and preferences and work with you to choose practical techniques that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
