About Samantha
Samantha Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, grief, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family of origin issues and challenges linked to attachment and communication.
Her sessions focus on clear practical steps. She listens for the patterns that keep repeating and helps people name them. Then she uses straightforward techniques to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Samantha blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she pays attention to how a person experiences things in the moment and also looks at thinking and behavior patterns that can be adjusted. This combination suits people dealing with mood problems, panic, or long-standing habits linked to family roles.
She has particular experience supporting people facing divorce or separation, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and problems with substance or process addictions. She also helps with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose and work stress. Sessions include talking about what happened in the past when that helps clarify current patterns.
Her style is direct and practical. Clients can expect focused conversations, behavioral experiments, and homework when useful. Those who want to address how their family of origin still affects how they relate to others will find this an explicit area of focus.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and uses that understanding to guide the next steps. This approach helps people who want to feel heard while making sense of repeating patterns or family roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and for habits linked to addiction or avoidance.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each client to decide whether more client-centered exploration, CBT techniques, or a mix of both fits their needs and goals. That process takes into account personal preferences and the problems a person brings to therapy.
