About Samantha

Samantha Eisenhart-Petkovski brings 17 years of professional counseling experience to her practice in Texas as an LPC and LMHC.

Background and approach

She has worked extensively with individuals, adolescents, children, and families across individual and group settings, helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, anger and stress management, and mood instability. Her background includes work related to women's health and a wide range of life transitions.

Her approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship and tailoring care to each person’s needs. Samantha uses a strengths-based perspective rooted in cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods, and she emphasizes collaboration so clients can identify practical coping skills and personal resources.

She aims to be empathetic, present, and supportive while guiding clients to recognize and use the tools they already have. Samantha values open communication about goals and techniques, and she works with clients to choose methods that fit their preferences and circumstances.

With a focus on individual strengths and pragmatic strategies, she supports people through grief, relationship and family difficulties, career concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and other stressors as they work toward clearer direction and improved functioning.

Approach-driven Online Therapy for Practical Change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist supports clients in exploring their priorities and identifying personal strengths; this approach helps when someone needs validation and encouragement to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, structured techniques to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense mood swings, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from these methods to build a personalized plan. Clients are invited to share what feels most helpful so treatment can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other settings, fit therapy into busy lives, and continue care during life transitions while working toward clearer strategies and improved coping.
