About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma. Samantha draws on a client's strengths and practical steps to make progress in everyday life.
Her work is grounded in a client-centered approach that centers the person's own goals. Samantha also uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for coping, emotion regulation, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. She brings eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma needs targeted attention.
Samantha helps people facing relationship and family struggles, codependency, caregiver stress, and challenges like anger, low self-esteem, and isolation. She supports those dealing with mood disorders, panic, obsessive thoughts, and other complex concerns. Her style is straightforward and practical, focused on steps people can use between sessions.
During sessions Samantha works collaboratively to set achievable goals and build on what already works. She uses motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change and narrative therapy ideas to help people reframe their stories. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and what will make daily life easier.
People who want clear strategies and a supportive listener often find this approach helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How Samantha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths and involves the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping you decide what matters most. This approach is useful when you want support that follows your pace and priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit the issue, and adjust plans as needed. Together they decide which tools and exercises to use and how to apply them between meetings.
