About Samantha
Samantha Dunn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting demands, ADHD, grief, or changes in life. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and on restoring a sense of self beyond caregiving roles. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.
Sessions aim to unpack what’s driving the overwhelm and to build small, usable strategies that fit each person's routine. Samantha prioritizes validation and collaboration over quick fixes.
Background and approach
In therapy she blends client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing brief skills to calm the body and clear the mind. Motivational interviewing helps set realistic goals and sustain change.
Samantha also brings trauma-focused methods when past events are part of the struggle. This work moves at each person’s pace and focuses on managing symptoms while building safety and resilience. She draws on nine years of clinical experience as an LCSW to tailor approaches to what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Based in North Carolina, Samantha offers a straightforward, compassionate approach for people who want to feel more grounded. Her aim is to help clients regain energy, reduce reactive stress, and make space for the life they want.

How Samantha’s methods translate to online therapy
Samantha uses client-centered therapy to create space for each person to say what matters most and to guide the work at their pace. This approach helps with stress, parenting strain, and rebuilding a sense of self by focusing on the client's priorities and strengths.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and impulsivity by turning ideas into practical experiments and skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use and how quickly to move forward. That collaborative plan can change as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, phone calls can be easier when video isn’t practical, live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or coaching-style guidance between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress going even on hectic days.
