Samantha Prince , LPC

Samantha Prince is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges. Samantha works with LGBTQ people and those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

She leans on practical, goal-oriented methods to help people manage symptoms and move forward. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to shift unhelpful thinking and from dialectical approaches to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma memories are a central concern.

Samantha draws on more than a decade of clinical experience with addiction and relapse concerns. She combines motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change with solution-focused conversations that target small, achievable steps. This mix helps clients address substance use, impulse problems, and the behaviors that get in the way of recovery.

People say starting therapy feels hard, so Samantha emphasizes a straightforward intake and gentle pacing. She aims to build rapport quickly and to tailor communication to each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Practical matters such as coping with chronic pain, body image, codependency, infidelity, and family problems are addressed alongside mood and anxiety concerns. Samantha works to help people regain stability, handle life changes, and rebuild their sense of self.

Approaches that guide remote care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s practical and helps with anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors by giving people specific tools to try between sessions.

DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be especially useful for intense mood swings, impulsivity, and relationship challenges by teaching concrete skills to manage strong feelings.

EMDR targets distressing memories connected to trauma and abuse. It involves a structured process to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories so they interfere less with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest a plan that often combines methods. Treatment is adjusted over time based on what is working and what needs to change.

Online therapy makes these methods more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy days while keeping therapeutic work consistent.
