About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and anger issues, and changes related to career and caregiving.
Samantha uses a client-centered foundation in sessions, building on what clients already do well. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and intense reactions get in the way of daily life.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing skills in session, and trying them out between meetings. She may bring in techniques from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past distress continues to affect daily functioning.
Samantha also uses motivational interviewing to explore what matters most to each person and to strengthen commitment to change. Narrative therapy ideas can help people reframe difficult experiences and the stories they tell themselves.
She works with a wide range of concerns that include panic and phobias, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood and personality disorders, and issues tied to prejudice or caregiver stress. Sessions are conducted in English and are aimed at helping people develop clearer coping plans and manageable next steps.
How Samantha’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and using a person’s strengths to guide sessions. Online this means appointments start by clarifying goals and using what already works in daily life to make progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change them; virtually, that looks like practicing thought records and behavioral experiments between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be taught, modeled, and rehearsed during online sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will help decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to travel to an appointment. These practical benefits can help people practice skills in their regular environment and integrate changes into daily routines.
