About Samantha
Samantha Eisenhart-Petkovski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Texas and focuses on practical, strength-based work. She aims to build a clear, respectful relationship so clients can use their own abilities to move forward.
Samantha emphasizes listening and collaboration. She helps people identify their strengths and develop coping skills for stress, anxiety, depression, mood instability, and codependency concerns. Her style is supportive and empathetic, and she tailors sessions to each person’s needs.
Her approach mixes practical strategies with attention to emotional experience. She often draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses client-centered techniques to prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her.
Samantha works with topics such as parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with life changes, separation, and family of origin struggles while focusing on individual goals and growth.
Sessions involve clear goal-setting and collaborative planning. Samantha encourages open communication about which techniques feel useful and adjusts the work as needed. She frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s perspective guides the process.
People who want skill-building, practical problem solving, and an empathetic listener may find her approach helpful. She invites those ready to take a first step to consider a collaborative path toward more manageable daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Samantha uses Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s experience. This approach focuses on what matters to the client, offers empathic listening, and helps people find their own solutions. It is useful for building trust and exploring feelings like grief, abandonment, or relationship concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, mood instability, and impulsivity by teaching concrete skills to test and shift patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are sometimes used for emotion regulation and coping strategies when stress and intense feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and adjust methods to fit what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match skills and strategies to each person’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote work while helping clients practice skills between appointments.
