Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Samantha Tatum draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support online clients. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration, helping individuals feel heard and valued while they explore personal goals and emotional concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process ensures that treatment feels relevant and usable.

Online therapy with Samantha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support from home or elsewhere when in-person meetings are not possible.
