Evidence-based approaches and online support

Samantha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching to help people manage anger, stress, and mood concerns. One common approach focuses on skill building for emotion regulation and stress management, teaching clear steps to notice triggers and try different responses. Another approach centers on goal-oriented coaching that breaks larger changes into smaller, doable tasks and tracks progress over time.
