Lori Sampson

Lori Sampson

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Having been through a lot in my teenage years into adulthood, where I learned self-confidence, I have found that if I had someone to help me work through issues of stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and many other life factors I would have been successful sooner. I have experience in diverse cultures where I have found I learn just as much from the people around me as they learn from me. Having an open mind and listening to my clients helps me to relate and understand them and develop a treatment plan or plan of action with them that makes them feel comfortable. I have an extensive history helping individuals understand their career path, educational needs, and learning life skills. I have a passion for mental health because of the family history with depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and substance abuse, and it drives me to want to help others. I believe it is important to empower individuals, couples, and families towards a sense of normalcy and autonomy, and developing skills to meet the goals they have for their lives. Taking a holistic approach to counseling I take into consideration the whole person and stive to build a good working relationship with each client to better understand them, helping them feel at ease at a time that may feel stressful and awkward, and helping them navigate life's challenges. In my free time I like to go to the beach, take a walk in nature, and enjoy spending time with my children and 2 dogs. I also enjoy learning, reading, and going to amusement parks when time allows.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and a 2022 graduate of Walden University and earned a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I recognize and appreciate that every person is a unique individual and there is not a “one size fits all” approach to counseling. I will work with you to determine the best approach to meet your goals. I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist-Associate who serves adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with young people experiencing disruptive behaviors, and individuals experiencing change of life concerns, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders, as well as aiding individuals in developing anger management skills and coping skills to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Therapist

I’m a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people in finding meaningful, holistic ways to improve mood, clarity, and overall well-being. My approach is rooted in Adlerian psychology and focuses on personal empowerment, present-day strengths, and forward movement rather than remaining anchored in the past. I value depth, connection, and practical insight, and I strive to create a space that feels human, supportive, and collaborative. Above all, I believe healing happens most readily through genuine connection, empathy, and being truly seen.
