About Samantha
Samantha Morrigan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont. She brings a mix of warmth, directness, and humor to sessions so people can show up as they are and talk about what matters. Samantha helps with stress, anxiety, depression, body image concerns, and many life transitions, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Samantha works with people from LGBTQ and neurodiverse communities and those involved in gaming, internet, spiritual, and alternative cultures. She offers support around grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and eating or weight-related concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies, and Motivational Interviewing. In practice that means listening first, helping clients name what matters, and then trying concrete skills that fit daily life. Sessions blend practical exercises with direct conversation and some light humor when it feels right.
With four years of clinical experience, Samantha aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She works with people navigating identity, relationships, trauma, and change. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking to ensure the arrangements meet their needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Samantha uses Attachment-Based Therapy to notice patterns in relationships and emotional connection, helping people understand how earlier bonds affect current feelings. Client-Centered Therapy is also central; sessions focus on the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist following their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns and try practical exercises to change behavior and mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they may try one method, blend techniques, or adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on hectic days, and making it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. It also lets people join from different locations within the same state and keeps continuity when routines shift. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and motivational conversations to work in remote sessions.
