About Samantha
Samantha Delisio, LPC brings nine years of clinical work to her practice in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping adults and children who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, mood changes, and relationship strain. Samantha aims to create a warm, predictable space where people can talk about hard experiences and begin to feel steadier over time.
She uses an attachment-informed and trauma-focused perspective to understand how early relationships shape current responses. That lens helps her and the client look at patterns that show up in relationships, parenting, and self-image. Samantha also draws on practical skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to address upsetting thoughts and behaviors.
Samantha works with parenting concerns and early childhood challenges using Child-Parent Psychotherapy, a relationship-based model for young children and their caregivers. In these sessions she joins play and caregiving routines to support stronger emotional bonds and reduce behavioral symptoms in young children.
With adults she explores how childhood experiences, life transitions, and chronic stress affect mood, attention, and intimate relationships. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of relating, and build daily routines that support wellbeing.
She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University. Samantha also earned dual bachelor of science degrees from The Pennsylvania State University. Her license is LPC in Pennsylvania.

Approaches used in online care and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It focuses on strengthening connections and helping people notice patterns that influence intimacy and parenting. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk and process emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, gives concrete tools to change upsetting thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, history, and preferences, then try strategies that fit their needs. Adjustments are made over time so sessions match what is actually helpful for daily life and relationships.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many clients find that online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduces travel time, and supports consistent check-ins during life transitions. Some formats can be better for brief problem-solving, while others work well for longer, deeper sessions. Discuss practical preferences with the therapist when scheduling to find what will work best for you.
