About Samantha
Samantha Morrigan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, life changes, and issues related to identity and LGBTQ matters. Samantha also supports people managing body image changes, eating concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and trauma or abuse.
Her approach is direct and candid while keeping conversations approachable. She combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods are used when helpful to change patterns of thinking and to build practical skills.
Samantha has experience with people from online culture and neurodiverse communities. She is familiar with the effects of medical weight management and GLP-1 medications on body image and mood. That background shapes how she talks about body image and food-related concerns without assuming a single path forward.
Sessions tend to balance practical tools and open conversation. Clients can expect a mix of skill-building, problem-solving, and exploration of how early relationships shape current patterns. Motivational Interviewing can be used to support decision-making and to clarify next steps.
She uses platforms that work with specific insurance providers for scheduling and billing. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeat dynamics in relationships and self-view. In online sessions this can look like talking through relationship stories and identifying small shifts in how someone responds to stress.Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation is guided by the person’s concerns and goals. The therapist listens with curiosity and follows what feels most important, using questions and reflections to help someone clarify values and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice and change thinking patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood. In remote work this often includes brief exercises between sessions and skill practice that fits into everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs and preferences. That collaborative process may combine attachment, client-centered, CBT, DBT, or motivational interviewing techniques depending on goals.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as her scheduling and billing are connected to specific platforms used with some insurers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments.
