About Samantha

Samantha Eisenhart-Petkovski is a licensed counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices from Texas. Samantha focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and relationship and parenting concerns.

She works in a collaborative, down-to-earth manner. Samantha listens closely and helps people identify their existing strengths. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs right now rather than following a fixed plan.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and ADHD. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and career or life-purpose questions. This range lets her draw practical strategies from several approaches.

Samantha draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. She emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship and using skills that people can practice between sessions. Therapy often focuses on recognizing patterns, improving emotional understanding, and developing coping tools.

Her style is supportive and compassionate while remaining practical. Samantha encourages open communication about goals and techniques so every plan fits the person. She aims to help people gain more control over mood, reactions, and daily functioning.

To start, Samantha asks people to clarify their goals and then creates steps they can try right away. The work is paced to match where someone is in their life and to build on what already helps them.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Samantha uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift emotional patterns that show up in relationships and personal life. EFT emphasizes naming feelings and changing interactional responses to improve connection and emotional regulation.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's lead to find solutions that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for people who want concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to identify goals and test different techniques until something fits. She invites open feedback so the plan can be adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, skill practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
