About Samantha

Samantha Synett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with seven years of experience. She works with adults and focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Sessions address everyday pressures around work, family, health, and caregiving.

Samantha blends practical therapy approaches to help people get unstuck. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and break patterns that keep people feeling worse. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult feelings without getting ruled by them, so they can act on what matters most.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current intimacy and trust. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to clear steps and real-world practice between meetings. Expect straightforward conversation and planning rather than vague advice.

Samantha has worked with people facing trauma, complicated grief, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and concerns related to identity including LGBT matters. She mentions experience with service members, veterans, oncology patients, and college students, and brings that background into clinical work without assuming the same needs for every client.

Her practice emphasizes advocacy and fairness in care. She will talk about both life context and symptoms, including family of origin issues, body image, career stress, and compassion fatigue. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Samantha Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Samantha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. ACT focuses on noticing hard thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with grief, anxiety, and getting unstuck from avoidance. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses exercises to change patterns that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.

Attachment-based ideas are also part of her work to understand how early relationships shape current difficulties with intimacy and trust. All of these methods are applied in a collaborative way. Samantha will work with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and what tasks or experiments to try between sessions.

Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, less time commuting, or scheduling around caregiving or work demands. Therapists can adapt exercises for video or phone sessions and assign brief between-session practices to keep progress moving.
