Dr. Samina Long, LPC

Dr. Samina Long is an LPC who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people facing family tensions, intimacy issues, parenting strain, low self-esteem, trauma, and grief. She meets people where they are and aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and set manageable goals. Sessions tend to center on clear strategies and small practice tasks that can fit into a busy life.

She adapts the pace and focus based on each person's needs. Conversations are shaped around immediate concerns and longer-term goals, with attention to what feels most useful in day-to-day life. That includes working through grief, addressing trauma and abuse, and navigating non-monogamous relationship dynamics when relevant.

Samina treats topics like gender dysphoria and jealousy with respect and without judgment. She helps parents who are worn down by caregiving demands and supports people wanting to improve closeness and communication. Her style balances practical steps with steady support.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward the life they value. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those priorities, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, useful for reducing worry and improving daily functioning.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what is already working and on quick, achievable steps toward change. It is goal-oriented and helps people build momentum with short-term strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try different methods when needed, and decide collaboratively what feels most helpful. That way the plan can change as progress unfolds.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively through remote sessions, and the focus will be on practical strategies you can try between meetings.
