About Samantha

Samantha Delisio is an LPC with nine years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping adults and children who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and changes that feel overwhelming. Samantha aims to create a calm space where people can name feelings and start small changes that improve daily life.

Samantha uses an attachment-informed view to understand how early relationships shape current struggles. She pays attention to family history and childhood experiences to see how those patterns affect present behavior and relationships. This helps people rework old patterns and form firmer emotional connections.

Her work includes trauma-focused care and approaches for mood and adjustment concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD symptoms. Samantha draws on practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve coping skills in everyday moments.

Samantha has training in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, a relationship-based model for young children and their caregivers. In sessions with young children, she uses play and caregiver engagement to build safer, warmer interactions and reduce behavioral symptoms.

She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University. Her undergraduate degrees are in Rehabilitation and Human Services and Communication Science and Disorders from The Pennsylvania State University. Samantha strives to help people rebuild trust, strengthen bonds, and find more ease in daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. In practice this means looking at interactions, memories, and patterns to help people form steadier emotional bonds and respond differently in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps clarify goals so changes feel meaningful and doable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress and new concerns appear.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help them practice new skills in real-life settings and keep momentum between visits.
