About Samantha
Samantha Selby is a licensed counselor in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and big life changes.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what’s on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Samantha emphasizes building confidence and clearer direction rather than long explanations or jargon.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to set simple goals. That might include improving communication, sorting money or work stress, or finding a clearer sense of purpose. She pays attention to issues common to women and young adults when they come up.
With four years of experience and the LPC-MHSP credential, Samantha draws on methods shown to help with stress and anxiety. She aims for straightforward strategies that fit daily life. People who want a supportive guide through transitions often find this practical focus helpful.
To get started, Samantha asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule based on her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
How Samantha’s approaches fit online work
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on building practical skills and changing unhelpful thoughts. For example, cognitive strategies help people identify thinking patterns that increase anxiety and replace them with more balanced thoughts, which can reduce daily worry and improve decision making. Behavioral techniques focus on small, repeatable actions like breaking tasks into steps or scheduling brief self-care, which help with motivation and coping during life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha works collaboratively to decide what techniques fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to current concerns and adjusts methods as the work unfolds rather than sticking to a single plan from the start.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people continue therapy through life transitions without needing to change providers, depending on the formats available. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process to find what will work best for your routine.
