Samantha Dunn , LCSW

Samantha Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience supporting parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, and trauma. She often works with people who are managing the mental load of caregiving, juggling family responsibilities, or trying to make space for their own needs amid constant demands. Samantha recognizes how exhausting it can feel to care for others while wondering if something is wrong with you, and she frames that exhaustion as a meaningful signal rather than a personal failure.

Samantha offers a warm, nonjudgmental, and validating approach that centers the whole person - not only the role of parent but the individual behind it. In sessions she helps clients uncover what lies beneath symptoms of overwhelm, teaches practical strategies tailored to how someone’s brain and life actually work, and supports rebuilding a sense of steadiness and identity beyond daily survival. Her work includes addressing attachment and blended family dynamics, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, caregiver stress, and the effects of past abuse or loss.

For those seeking a therapist who combines empathy with actionable tools, Samantha focuses on creating space for self-care, strengthening coping skills, and restoring balance so clients can feel more grounded and connected to their priorities.
