About Samantha
Samantha Morrigan is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont who blends empathy, frankness, and occasional humor in sessions. She asks only that people come as they are and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and genuine. Samantha has four years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people sort out stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in mood and self-image.
She works with people navigating LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, and intimacy-related struggles. Codependency and attachment concerns are included among her stated focus areas, and she also supports clients dealing with ADHD, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. Samantha notes experience with clients from internet, gaming, pop culture, neurodiverse, and alternative communities.
Her approach mixes Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions tend to be direct and practical, with attention to how relationships and early patterns show up now. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when people want clear steps and short-term goals.
Samantha mentions working with people using GLP-1 medications and those in medical weight management who face body image changes and shifting mood. She also lists experience related to dissociation, domestic violence, and coping after loss or large life changes. Her style is conversational and goal-oriented, with room for humor when it fits.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Samantha uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people understand closeness, fear of abandonment, and repeating relationship habits. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work - sessions are built around each person’s pace, values, and goals, with the therapist following what matters most to the client.She pairs those approaches with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when thinking patterns and behaviors are getting in the way. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, mood shifts, and changing unhelpful habits by breaking problems into steps and testing small changes together.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together the client and therapist decide which approaches to emphasize and when to try different tools or short-term goals.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people engage with therapy while maintaining routines such as work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
