About Samantha
Samantha Norton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and low self-esteem. She uses simple, practical steps to guide people toward clearer thinking and calmer days. Her approach is warm and direct, and she aims to make sessions feel like a steady, nonjudgmental conversation.
Samantha draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that lead to different results. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to teach emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change, especially around drug or alcohol addiction and relapse prevention.
In sessions Samantha focuses on practical tools for panic, trauma symptoms, and coping with life transitions. She helps people work through relationship and communication problems, manage anger, and build self-love rather than self-criticism. Her style is collaborative and goal-focused, with room to slow down when needed.
With six years of experience as an LMHC she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Florida. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy centers on listening carefully and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward goals they choose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.Samantha will work together with each client to find the best approach for their situation. She treats this as a collaborative process - discussing goals, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan based on what is helpful. This conversation helps match skills-based work like CBT or DBT with more exploratory, client-centered sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during skill practice, phone calls can fit a busy schedule and use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or moment-to-moment coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while still working on coping skills, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation.
