Samantha Delisio, LPC

Samantha Delisio, LPC brings nine years of counseling experience to her work with adults and children. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University. Samantha focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk about hard experiences and begin to make changes in daily life and relationships.

Samantha uses an attachment-informed lens to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She believes understanding childhood experiences helps explain how people relate now. Therapy may include talking, problem-solving, and activities that strengthen emotional connections and trust.

She also integrates practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. Those strategies aim to identify unhelpful thinking and build small, doable habits that improve daily functioning.

Samantha has experience supporting people dealing with trauma and toxic stress, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, and compassion fatigue. She works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and money-related stress.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. In practice this means exploring attachment patterns and building more reliable emotional connections with caregivers or partners. It can help with relationship strain, parenting struggles, and trauma-related responses.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and clarifying goals so people feel understood and can make choices that fit their values. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adapt methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client's preferences and day-to-day needs shape the plan.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows work with children and caregivers using relationship-focused activities that translate to remote sessions when appropriate. Ask about available formats when you begin scheduling to pick what fits your routine.
