About Samantha
Samantha DeJesus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around parenting, motivation, and self-esteem. She also pays attention to feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
Samantha focuses on straightforward, practical conversations. She shapes sessions around what each person brings and the goals they want to reach. Expect a mix of listening, reflection, and concrete steps you can use between meetings.
Her clinical methods include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she will use your experience as the starting point and add strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include trying new ways of thinking and small behavior changes to test what helps.
She aims to address day-to-day pressures like work, family responsibilities, and the strain of life transitions. The approach is to break larger problems into smaller, manageable changes. Conversations are practical and focused on immediate concerns as well as longer-term goals.
For someone feeling stuck by anxiety, low mood, or parenting stress, Samantha offers steady, goal-oriented support. If you decide to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Samantha uses client-centered therapy, which starts with the client's own experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, clarifying concerns, and shaping goals the client cares about.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing stress with specific exercises and short homework tasks.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
The practical advantage of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule meetings around work, handle short check-ins between obligations, or avoid travel time. The aim is to integrate therapy into a busy routine while focusing on clear steps that move daily life forward.
