About Samantha
Samantha Delisio is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping adults and children navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Samantha aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings and find practical ways to cope.
Her approach centers on attachment-informed care and trauma-focused work. This means she pays attention to how early relationships and stressful experiences shape current feelings and behaviors.
How Samantha works
She often uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach new skills for managing emotions. Samantha also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to honor each person’s values and life story. Sessions usually involve listening, gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, and practicing skills that make day-to-day life easier.
She pays close attention to issues like parenting stress, body image, eating concerns, and caregiver fatigue. Her training includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University. Samantha also holds a dual Bachelor of Science from The Pennsylvania State University.
Those academic experiences inform her work with attachment, early childhood relationships, and caregiver-child dynamics. People who look for practical tools alongside compassionate listening may find her style helpful. She encourages collaborative goal setting so each person can move at their own pace toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current emotions and relationships. In practice this means talking about important relationships, noticing patterns, and trying new ways of relating that build trust and steadier connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It prioritizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals, giving space to make choices and explore values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear tools like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people find it simpler to attend sessions during a work break, while others like the chance to meet consistently without commuting. The focus remains on learning skills, practicing new ways of relating, and applying insights in everyday situations rather than on the location of the session.
