About Samantha
Samantha Ju Young Nam is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and Korean.
Samantha integrates faith and spirituality into therapy when clients want that included. She describes herself as a Christian therapist and offers Christian counseling while also respecting non-Christian clients' spiritual perspectives if those are relevant and welcome.
Her work uses several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy supports people in spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. Narrative Therapy helps separate a person from a problem by looking at stories they tell about themselves. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of bodily and emotional signals so people can respond rather than react.
Samantha often focuses on connection and communication. She addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and themes that come up during divorce or separation. She also helps people work through forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
She frames therapy as collaborative and values integrating spiritual beliefs when they matter to the client. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Samantha works with approaches that are practical and skills-focused. Cognitive Behavioral techniques involve identifying thoughts that fuel strong reactions and practicing small behavior changes to reduce reactivity. This approach is useful for workplace frustration, snapping at loved ones, and persistent resentment.Narrative methods look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships and help separate identity from problems. That can be helpful when anger is tied to past hurts, attachment patterns, or ongoing family roles. Mindfulness exercises teach noticing bodily signs of rising anger and using brief practices to pause and choose a response.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Samantha discusses goals, preferences, and current concerns with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist work together to decide which techniques to try and when to reassess progress.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to do shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practicing skills in the real-life settings where triggers happen, which can speed up the learning of new responses.
