About Samantha
Murphy has significant experience supporting children and adolescents as well as adults, and she approaches each person with a focus on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. She emphasizes a collaborative relationship that honors the client’s strengths while addressing areas of difficulty such as relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, ADHD, and life changes.
Clients can expect a therapist who aims to support and empower them through change, recognizing that seeking help takes courage. Samantha works to help individuals and families identify practical steps toward greater wellbeing and resilience, tailoring her approach to each person’s needs and goals.
Therapeutic approaches for flexible online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences, offering a supportive space where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore what matters most to them. This approach can be helpful for people working on self-esteem, relationship concerns, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around day-to-day challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation, which can support coping with trauma, anger, and overwhelming stress.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Samantha collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting methods over time as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure care aligns with what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage childcare or transportation limits, and maintain continuity of care across different circumstances. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to online formats to support meaningful progress and greater accessibility to care.
