About Samina

Dr. Samina Long is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, family tension, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical strategies that address everyday challenges like parenting strains, self-esteem struggles, grief, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her practice also includes attention to gender dysphoria, jealousy, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics when relevant to a client’s goals.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a tailored treatment plan that aligns with each person’s unique circumstances. Drawing from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment and solution-focused approaches, she aims to help clients develop clearer goals, shift unhelpful patterns, and build actionable skills for managing emotions and relationships.

Samina frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients through change with encouragement and practical guidance.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve everyday functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to explore values and foster psychological flexibility, supporting clients who want to live in ways that align with what matters to them. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these by helping clients define specific goals and build on strengths to create immediate, actionable steps toward change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she treats that choice as a collaborative decision. Together with each client she assesses needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts interventions so the methods fit the individual rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Texas without needing to travel, and they allow for follow-up and skill practice between sessions in ways that match each person’s daily life.
