About Samantha
Samantha Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
Samantha concentrates on helping people who struggle with social anxiety and attachment-related worries. She uses clear, direct conversation to identify what feels most difficult and practical steps to try next. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded, with attention to communication skills and managing strong feelings.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness practices to build steadying habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter to them. Attachment-based ideas inform how relationship patterns get shaped and how they can shift over time.
Samantha often supports clients who feel isolated, overwhelmed by panic or mood swings, or unsure about their life purpose. She pays attention to body image, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and challenges that come with neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. Sessions aim to turn difficult feelings into manageable steps.
People meet Samantha to practice clearer self-talk, improve how they connect with others, and build routines that help with sleep, eating, and daily stress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Samantha’s approaches translate to online sessions
Samantha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide conversations online. ACT focuses on noticing what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.She also draws on mindfulness-based tools to teach breath work and attention skills that can be practiced between meetings. These approaches aim to give concrete skills people can use in day-to-day situations, like managing panic or stepping into social interactions with more confidence.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Samantha will work with each client to figure out which approaches fit their goals and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress is made.
