About Samantha
Samantha Toney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, licensed in Florida with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and issues like ADHD, parenting, and career stress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Samantha helps people learn coping strategies and practical skills. She focuses on reducing the immediate impact of symptoms and on building routines and boundaries that aim to prevent future crises. Sessions involve talking about what is happening now, identifying small changes, and trying out new ways of responding to stressors.
Her background includes extensive work with individuals and families facing substance use and mental health challenges. That experience informs how she approaches problems like mood disorders and addiction. She pays attention to family of origin and multicultural concerns when they relate to a person's current struggles.
Samantha aims to identify strengths that a person may have lost sight of. She works with clients to re-establish those strengths and build practical skills for daily life. Goals are concrete and progress is measured in observable changes, like improved sleep, fewer conflict episodes, or better coping with work demands.
Sessions are pragmatic and focused. The therapist collaborates with each person to set goals and test strategies that fit their everyday life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
CBT is a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with clearer thinking and healthier routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and helps build commitment to specific goals; it is often used for addictions and behavior change.The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on results and feedback.
Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and let people use video or audio in ways that match their day. These practical benefits can help sustain regular work on goals while balancing everyday responsibilities.
