Hi, I’m Samantha Maybern, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals and families feel supported, understood, and empowered. I have experience working with children, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and relationship stress. My approach is compassionate, practical, and strengths-based, while also honoring each client’s values and personal journey. I believe healing happens through connection, trust, and learning new ways to move forward.
Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.
Please feel free to call me Sam. I'm originally from North Carolina and received my bachelor's degree in social work at Appalachian State. In 2022, I moved to Southwest Virginia and received my master's degree in social work from Radford University. Overall, I have 13 years of experience as a Social Worker in different capacities, including grief and loss, chronic illness, and burnout. My passion is working with adults and older adults navigating life changes.
I am a licensed doctoral level therapist who specializes in helping individuals heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. My practice is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for those struggling with emotional and psychological challenges. Together, we will work toward building resilience, restoring balance, and improving your overall well-being.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wilmington
Finding the right therapist in Wilmington, NC starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition — and look for a licensed provider who has experience in that area. Common license types in North Carolina include LCMHC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist, and these professionals are generally qualified to provide talk therapy.
Wilmington has a range of providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can also factor in logistics like scheduling, location, and whether you prefer to meet face to face or from home. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if it feels like the right fit.
Therapy in Wilmington can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who matches both your clinical needs and your coverage.
