About Samantha Dunn

Samantha Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience who focuses on helping mothers and women navigate the everyday overwhelm that can come from parenting, work, and life transitions. She recognizes the exhaustion that comes from carrying the mental load of family life - the meltdowns, the endless to-do lists, and the feeling that something has to give. Rather than labeling someone as lazy or disorganized, she approaches each person with a perspective that honors their struggles and strengths.

Samantha works warmly and without judgment, creating space to explore what lies beneath stress, anxiety, or a new diagnosis such as ADHD. Her style emphasizes validation and practical strategies that fit a person's brain and lifestyle, so tools feel useful instead of burdensome. She helps clients reconnect with their identities beyond the role of caregiver and reclaim time and energy for themselves without guilt.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, and difficulties with sleep and self-esteem. Samantha blends empathy with actionable skills so people can feel steadier and more whole as they move through change and daily demands.

Online Therapy Approaches That Meet You Where You Are



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective. It emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that goals and strategies arise from the client's values and experience. This approach is useful for rebuilding a sense of self, exploring parenting roles, and managing life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical, evidence-informed tools for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and coping with depression or stress by changing how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. These skills can be especially helpful for overwhelmed parents, those with anxiety or ADHD, and anyone seeking steadier focus during daily demands.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Samantha works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend these styles to match what works best for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life changes while still receiving structured therapeutic support.
