About Samantha

Samantha Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, trauma, and mood concerns. Samantha lists family and parenting among her practice focuses and often helps people trying to manage those pressures alongside other life demands.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions typically focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on noticing patterns that keep problems cycling. Samantha draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress.

People often come with issues such as panic attacks, low mood, problems at work, or trouble with communication in important relationships. She also addresses addiction concerns including drug, alcohol, and process addictions like gambling or problematic internet use. Pregnancy, childbirth, divorce, and family of origin problems are listed among the life events she supports people through.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people develop small, concrete coping strategies while also looking at longer-term patterns. Sessions include skill practice, honest feedback, and planning for real-world challenges.

Work is offered in English from a Florida practice. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform's match and scheduling tools.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for remote sessions

Samantha uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective. This approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps the person make sense of their own feelings and choices. It is useful for parents and adults who need a steady, respectful space to talk through difficult home situations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a core part of her work. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and break unhelpful patterns. It can be a good fit for panic, depression, and anxiety linked to stressful life events.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Samantha will work with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and daily demands. She often blends listening with clear skills practice so people leave sessions with things to try between meetings.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling steps to choose what fits your routine and preferences.
