About Samantha
Samantha Chaplin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing sleep trouble, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is keeping someone from better rest and daily calm. Samantha aims to help people find small, practical steps that improve sleep and reduce stress over time.
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports change when motivation feels low. Her approach centers on the person's strengths and real-life goals rather than jargon.
With 15 years of practice, Samantha draws on a range of clinical experience across mood disorders, substance use, trauma, and parenting stress. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals and she helps map reachable steps toward them. Samantha also brings attention to how aging, panic, social anxiety, and attention differences can affect sleep and day-to-day functioning.
Sessions focus on concrete strategies - skill practice, planning, and short experiments between meetings. She also uses journaling as a way to track patterns and progress. Her notes emphasize steady progress over quick fixes.
Based in Maine, Samantha holds the credential LCSW and the credential LICSW. She offers care in English and asks prospective clients to follow the site's start process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths to set goals that matter to them. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead and supports realistic steps toward better sleep and daily coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and routines and replaces them with manageable habits that improve mood and rest. CBT is often used for anxiety, insomnia-related patterns, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Samantha works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She will try options like short behavioral experiments, practice assignments between sessions, or motivational conversations to keep change moving forward.
