About Samantha
Samantha Chaplin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood changes, and parenting concerns. She writes plainly and offers steady support for those coping with grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Samantha brings 15 years of clinical experience to her sessions and aims to help clients uncover strengths and practical tools.
She uses straightforward methods rooted in cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavior strategies. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone needs help finding the drive to change. Samantha favors a warm, nonjudgmental tone and invites clients to talk about what is most pressing to them.
In sessions she focuses on clear skills you can use between meetings, like breaking down problems, testing small changes, and managing strong emotions. She also weaves in moments of mindfulness and, when helpful, concepts from neuroscience to explain patterns in thinking and behavior. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Samantha emphasizes collaboration; she and the client set goals together and adjust as needed. She encourages journaling and ongoing notes between visits to track progress and keep momentum. Her practice in Maine centers on practical steps that fit into real life.
People looking for help with ADHD, panic, social anxiety, family issues, or aging-related concerns may find her approach useful. She aims to make therapy understandable and doable for everyday parents and caregivers.

Samantha draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and practical coping skills for strong feelings and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps determine which techniques to emphasize and how to pace sessions.
