Samantha Giardina, LCMHCA, supports individuals and couples across North Carolina in navigating life’s challenges with warmth, compassion, and clinically grounded care.

Samantha works with clients aged 15 through 64 and is passionate about helping those in transitional periods—emotionally, developmentally, or relationally—find balance and clarity in their lives. Samantha brings a special focus to supporting neurodivergent individuals and those navigating identity, communication, and interpersonal stressors. She is deeply committed to affirming and empowering LGBTQ+ clients and individuals on the autism spectrum or with developmental disabilities. In therapy, she integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices, ensuring her clients feel heard, validated, and equipped with practical tools for change. She also offers specialized support for those living with ADHD, PTSD, or OCD, approaching treatment with sensitivity and flexibility. She is especially passionate about working with people experiencing midlife transitions, grief, and relationship distress. Whether it’s untangling long-held emotional patterns or learning to navigate new life stages, Samantha creates a therapeutic space rooted in acceptance, curiosity, and meaningful progress. Couples benefit from her structured yet empathetic approach to resolving conflict, building communication, and fostering deeper emotional connection. Outside of therapy, Samantha enjoys recharging in nature along North Carolina’s greenways, doting on her cat Macaroni, caring for her growing houseplant collection, and spending time with loved ones
