About Samantha
Samantha Eisenhart-Petkovski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience. She practices from Texas and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, mood problems, and trauma. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and build on existing strengths.
Samantha centers the relationship in her work. She listens closely and offers steady support during hard moments. Sessions often focus on skills you can use between meetings, like emotion regulation and practical coping tools.
Background and approach
Her style blends client-centered listening with cognitive techniques and behavioral strategies. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused methods when they fit a person's needs. The goal is to find simple, realistic steps that reduce overwhelm and make daily life more manageable.
The practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, grief, anger, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or family issues. Samantha also supports people facing career stress, caregiver strain, life transitions, and trauma-related reactions. She works with individual adults on these topics.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients work with her to identify priorities and try approaches that align with their values and routines. She emphasizes strengths, skill-building, and small achievable changes that add up over time.

How Samantha blends approaches in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to find their own solutions to parenting stress, anxiety, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. It teaches concrete techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and for practicing new behaviors between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help with anger, impulsivity, relationship strain, and managing intense feelings.
Samantha treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and daily life. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, quick live chats can serve as brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and work schedules.
