More about Samantha
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
At the impressionable age of thirteen, I remember listening to my mother and sister talk about their interest in psychology. They mentioned that being a therapist sounded interesting, and without a pause I asked, “Why would you want to listen to other people’s problems?” They both laughed and pointed out that I already did that regularly for my family and friends.
As the years passed, I noticed that friends and family regularly shared their challenges with me and I enjoyed being able to help them! Sometimes this called for advice, insight, a kind word or even a dose of truth, and that’s what therapy is all about! From then on, I knew that I wanted to create a career focused on helping others and I directed my career path to fulfill that dream. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree of Arts in Counseling, and acquired my professional license for mental health counseling.
Since then, I have worked in a psychological services center, as a Middle School counselor, and as an adolescent mental hospital therapist. For the last 5 years I have been working with patients with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. This range of exposure has taught me much about what motivates people, what hinders them, and how I can help them to achieve their goals.
That is what brought me here, those were my lemons. What are yours?

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is wonderful, she really is an amazing person
Samantha has been so helpful since I signed up! She patiently listens and has been encouraging and understanding of the things I've gone through and am still working through. I highly recommend her!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Samantha Napoli has changed my life. She is bright, kind, and insightful, and beyond patient. I really cant recommend enough.
Therapy with Ms. Napoli has honestly changed my whole life for the better. She is bright and incisive, while still being patient and empathetic. She’s a really easy person to talk to, and easy to recommend. Just great!
Sam is wonderful- attentive, engaged, helpful and invested. I have really enjoyed our time and truly feel she has helped me!
Ms. Napoli has really helped improve my quality of life. She’s great at cutting through the clutter and helping me see what’s going on more clearly. Really a gifted therapist.
Samantha has been wonderful over the course of my therapy. She has helped me contextualize my symptoms of anxiety and depression so that we can make meaningful progress together. I feel more in control of my own thoughts and feelings, and more comfortable with things I can’t control.
Samantha is always available to me. Her communication approach and style is direct without being too much. She has quickly grasped my needs and doesn’t hesitate to support. Grateful for her support and care
She’s the best!
Ms. Napoli is an excellent therapist who seemed to “get” me right away, although she took her time to really get to know my life and my situation before making recommendations or providing insights. I felt respected by that process, and it eventually made me feel comfortable sharing things I have never shared with anyone, which by itself is a pretty big deal. She is smart, quick, and empathetic. Just the right combination of understanding and challenging. She really cuts through the noise and hells me see things clearly, which has been a huge help. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Samantha has been a great help to me. She’s intelligent, supportive and challenging in a constructive way, not to mention timely and accessible. She is also always able to point me towards helpful resources and, most importantly, is an amazing listener. I would highly recommend her!
She’s a great person that takes the time to slowly dig into the root issues. Really happy we met
