Samantha Blythe

Samantha Blythe

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in working with anxious overthinkers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and caregivers who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally drained on the inside.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a school counselor, which deeply shaped how I approach mental health, relationships, and family systems. I also bring lived experience as a parent into my work, especially when supporting clients who are navigating stress, burnout, and the emotional demands of raising children.

Leanne Christian

Leanne Christian

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, self-doubt, trauma, or major life changes find steadiness again. My clients are often caring, capable people who feel stuck in survival mode—wanting peace but unsure how to get there. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and rebuild a sense of ease and confidence. We will also look back at how early life experiences shaped the way you see yourself and others, so we can shift old beliefs and habits that no longer serve you. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative—you’ll never have to face your struggles alone.

I guide people to make sense of what’s going on inside—the racing thoughts, the heaviness, the tension that lives in the body, and the patterns that keep repeating—and turn that insight into real change. We’ll build tools to calm your mind, regulate emotions, and set boundaries that actually stick.

For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest

moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you

invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something

worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South

Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a

blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where

you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham

Searching for therapists in Durham starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Durham therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they offer approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Durham has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods near Duke University, downtown Durham, Southpoint, and surrounding areas, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual care for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find Durham therapists who match your preferences, and you can browse profiles to compare insurance information, availability, and booking options when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
