Samantha Aggeles

Samantha Aggeles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She offers a steady, down-to-earth approach that focuses on a person’s strengths and goals. Samantha aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people dealing with strong emotions and life changes.

She uses a client-centered focus that starts where each person is. That means she listens first, then builds on the strengths a person already has. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns of thinking that increase stress or anger and helps people test small behavior changes to feel better.

Samantha blends dialectical behavior therapy skills when people need help managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. She may also use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for those processing traumatic memories, and motivational interviewing to help with readiness for change. These approaches are used together to suit the person in front of her.

People come to Samantha for help with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, eating and self-esteem issues, career strain, mood disorders, and trauma-related problems. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, codependency, guilt and shame, and obsessive or impulsive behaviors.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be tried between meetings. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. In practice this means conversations that start with the client’s priorities and use those strengths to set achievable goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep them feeling stuck and then test small changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Skills training can include breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and ways to handle interpersonal stress. Samantha may combine these approaches based on what a person needs and prefers, and she works together with the client to decide what fits best.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, take shorter check-ins on a break, avoid travel time, or choose an option that uses less bandwidth when needed. The therapist will discuss how to shape sessions so they fit day-to-day life and the person’s goals.
