About Samantha
Samantha Delisio is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Samantha also lists compassion fatigue and ADHD among her areas of practice.
Samantha uses an attachment-informed lens in her work. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy to guide sessions. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University, and dual bachelor degrees from Penn State.
Her approach emphasizes understanding how earlier relationships shape current patterns. Sessions look at relationship dynamics and emotional responses. Conversations can include practical skills for managing anxiety, addressing difficult memories, and improving communication habits.
Samantha notes experience with child-parent work through Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), a relationship-based model for very young children and their caregivers. She also works with adults and often traces how childhood experiences influence present challenges.
Practical concerns such as eating and body image, blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, divorce and separation, and financial worries are part of her stated focus areas. She aims to help people notice recurring patterns, try new ways of relating, and develop clearer, more workable strategies for everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Samantha draws on attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioral approaches to frame online sessions. Attachment-informed work focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds and can help when adults notice repeating ways of relating that cause stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, based on the client's goals, history, and daily demands. That collaborative choice may mean focusing more on skills practice one week and relationship reflection the next.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around parenting and work, allow check-ins during a short break, and reduce travel time. Some methods suit shorter focused check-ins while others use longer conversations and exercises; Samantha will discuss what will fit into a client's routine and goals.
