About Samantha

Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She centers her work on the client, drawing on each person's existing strengths to support progress toward meaningful goals.

Background and approach

Her approach is practical and collaborative, blending therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and life challenges.

Samantha commonly works with issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, and she also supports people navigating relationship and family concerns, eating and anger difficulties, self-esteem, career transitions, and mood-related conditions. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, codependency, obsessions and compulsions, panic, personality-related problems, and prejudice-related distress.

Her style is client-centered and goal-oriented, aimed at helping individuals build coping skills and make sustainable changes that fit their values and daily life.

Approaches and online therapy that adapt to your needs

Samantha integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports clients' own growth and uses their existing strengths to guide the work.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or distress tolerance skills are needed. DBT-informed techniques teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving relationships while remaining grounded in the client's values.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, then tailor methods so therapy fits the individual's needs rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support from South Carolina or other locations where services are offered. These formats allow for skill practice between sessions and make it simpler to schedule care around work, family, and daily life.
