Samantha Acosta

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

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 Johnson City

Searching for therapists in Johnson City starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the concerns that matter to you. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, what kinds of clients they often work with, and what you may expect in your first appointment.

In a smaller city like Johnson City, local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger Tennessee markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Tennessee. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their approach fits your preferences. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and session format in one place.

Therapy in Johnson City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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