About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and other mood and behavior concerns. She also lists support for issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, guilt and shame, and obsessive or impulsive behaviors.
Samantha uses a client-centered approach that starts with what the person already does well. She listens for strengths and builds on them while helping people set practical goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
When trauma memories are part of the problem, she can include EMDR techniques as one option to address those memories and their impact. Motivational interviewing is another way she helps people clarify what they want to change and find workable steps toward that change.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and real-life skills. Conversations aim to untangle guilt and shame without rushing or judging the person. Samantha helps people find ways to respond differently to painful thoughts and memories so daily life feels a bit easier to handle.
She practices in South Carolina and works in English. Before scheduling, people should confirm current session formats and practical details through the platform's booking steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's existing strengths and priorities. In an online session this looks like the therapist listening closely and helping the client name goals and small next steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to adjust them. Online CBT often uses short skill practice, worksheets, and concrete plans between meetings. EMDR involves guided attention to distressing memories and how they affect current life; when used online it is adapted to the session rhythm and the client's comfort level.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that feel appropriate, and adjust as progress and preferences emerge. The point is to find the best fit together rather than start with a fixed plan.
Please confirm which specific session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals use these options to help people apply skills directly to day-to-day stresses without promising a particular outcome.
