Samantha Toney

Samantha Toney is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and career concerns. She also works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy questions, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Samantha frames her work around practical change and real-life problems.

She spends sessions helping people learn coping strategies they can use right away. Samantha emphasizes small, achievable steps rather than sweeping promises. She listens for strengths that have been lost or overlooked and helps clients rebuild them so daily life feels more manageable.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix supports calm, clear action when people feel stuck, and helps when motivation is low or habits are a problem. Sessions often include setting short-term goals and trying new behaviors between meetings.

With 15 years of experience, Samantha has worked with individuals and with families navigating mental health and substance use challenges. Her background in marriage and family therapy gives her a systemic perspective, while her focus stays on what each person needs now. She offers care in English and practices in Florida.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Samantha’s approaches work in online sessions

Samantha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when small, testable steps can make a difference.

She also applies Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This style helps people clarify their own reasons to change and build internal motivation rather than relying on pressure from others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals and check what works, adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people join from different locations within the supported region, making it simpler to maintain continuity of care while handling work and family demands.
