About Samantha
Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other challenges that make daily life harder. Samantha aims to work side by side with each person to build on their strengths and reach clear goals.
She favors a client-centered approach that starts where the person is. That means sessions are shaped around the client's priorities and what already helps them cope.
How Samantha works
Samantha also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and to build new patterns that reduce distress. When trauma is part of the picture, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process traumatic memories. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make a change but feel stuck or uncertain. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including relationship and family issues, eating and body image, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic and phobias, and compassion fatigue. Samantha also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, guilt and shame, and problems tied to prejudice and discrimination.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Samantha helps people set practical steps and check progress along the way.

Online support options
Approaches you can use with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and helps the client choose steps that feel doable, which can help with stress, low mood, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking because it breaks problems into clear skills and exercises.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more balanced communication.
Samantha will work with each person to figure out which approach or combination fits best. That decision is collaborative and shaped by your needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have a full conversation and read visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
