01About Samina
Dr. Samina Long is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem.
She also supports people working through parenting challenges and family conflict. Her practice includes attention to gender dysphoria, jealousy, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical.
Conversations aim to identify what matters most to the client and build steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She adapts her approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Her work draws from evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, connect to personal values, and set concrete goals they can try between sessions.
Samina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room. She aims to create a calm, steady space where people can name problems and test small changes. Progress is paced to the individual and focused on practical outcomes.
Clients typically start by sharing current struggles and priorities. From there she and the client agree on goals, tools to try, and ways to measure change. The plan can be adjusted as needs shift over time.

How ACT, CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises to practice between meetings and steps to reconnect with what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In video or phone sessions the therapist helps identify patterns, test new ways of thinking, and plan behavioral experiments that clients can try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on quick, practical changes and building on what already works. It is useful for clients who want concrete steps and brief check-ins to measure progress.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they adjust techniques and pace so the work fits the client’s needs.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are good for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for short check-ins and steady support. These options let people keep regular contact and try tools between sessions.
