About

Samantha Chaplin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and transitions associated with aging. She is based in Maine and brings a strengths-based perspective, believing that most people have resources they can rediscover to support growth and change.

She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW, which are professional designations for licensed clinical social workers, and she uses those skills to help clients build practical tools and coping strategies. Her practice combines client-centered principles with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), along with motivational interviewing and mindfulness. In recent work she has also incorporated neuroscience-informed applications where appropriate to complement skill building and emotional regulation.

Samantha approaches care collaboratively, working with each person to identify strengths, set goals, and develop concrete strategies for change. She is available for messaging Monday through Friday and checks messages multiple times per day. The in-the-moment journal feature is offered as an additional way to communicate between sessions. Live session availability generally falls Tuesday through Friday, 7am to 1pm EST.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Samantha Chaplin weaves together client-centered care with targeted skills-based therapies to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, helping individuals explore their values and strengths while setting goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques from these modalities to fit the individual. That partnership helps ensure the plan feels relevant and workable for day-to-day life.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, and also use live chat or text-based messaging between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals in a way that matches personal needs.
