About Samina
Dr. Samina Long is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem problems, trauma and abuse, and grief. Sessions are conducted in English.
Before moving into private practice, she spent years providing direct care in clinical settings and community services. That background shaped a practical style focused on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. She then tries small, specific changes to see what makes a difference. That might mean working on thoughts that increase anxiety, experimenting with new ways of communicating around intimacy, or making step-by-step plans for parenting challenges.
She also addresses concerns around gender dysphoria, jealousy, and non-monogamous relationships when these are part of the client’s goals. Work on grief and trauma is paced to the client’s comfort, with practical strategies for managing symptoms in daily life.
If someone decides to start, the usual process is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Sessions are subscription-based and can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT, ACT and solution-focused work online
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include short exercises, thought records, and homework to try between meetings, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult feelings and deciding what matters most. It uses values-based goals and skills for staying engaged with life even when uncomfortable emotions appear, which can help with grief, trauma responses, and identity-related stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on specific, achievable goals and the steps that move someone toward them. It works well when someone wants practical changes quickly, such as clearer communication around intimacy or concrete parenting strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick or combine methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for brief check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people try strategies in real life and bring observations back to sessions for review.
