Getting to know Magdalena Samuel

I am a licensed LMHC with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor's degree from St. John's University. I take a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques to help individuals navigate challenges such as legal issues, family relationships, and emotional regulation. My goal is to provide a supportive space where we can work together to build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies tailored to your needs. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I primarily utilize CBT to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotional regulation and distress tolerance. I also incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy to empower clients in setting and achieving their goals, and Trauma-Informed Care to create a safe and supportive space for healing. My work often focuses on helping individuals navigate legal issues, complex family relationships, and emotional regulation challenges by fostering self-awareness, coping skills, and personal resilience. I primarily work with individuals facing emotional regulation challenges, family conflicts, and legal issues. Many of my clients struggle with managing intense emotions, navigating difficult relationships, or coping with the stress of legal matters. I am especially comfortable treating concerns related to anger management, anxiety, depression, trauma, and high-conflict situations. My approach is supportive yet structured, helping clients develop practical coping strategies, build resilience, and regain a sense of control over their lives. My communication style is empathetic, direct, and supportive. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their challenges.
