Therapy for Anxiety & Life Transitions in Scottsdale, AZ
Virtual therapy in Arizona & California for those feeling stuck at life transitions, overwhelmed by anxiety or self-criticism, or wanting a deeper sense of self and purpose.
This May Sound Familiar…
You seem capable on the outside — but inside you’re tired of striving without feeling seen or understood.
You’ve become so good at anticipating everyone else’s needs that you’re no longer sure what your own needs are.
You move through your responsibilities on autopilot, checking the boxes, smiling when expected — yet privately wondering, Why does this feel so heavy?
In big transitions — starting adulthood, becoming a mother, entering a new academic or career phase — you thought you’d feel proud or confident, but instead you feel unsteady, behind, or like you’re pretending to know what you’re doing.
You crave deeper connection, but when someone asks how you’re really doing, you instinctively say, “I’m fine.”
You don’t just want coping strategies to survive the stress. You want to understand yourself, feel steady in who you are, and stop performing a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply so you can show up in your life confidently and authentically.
If you’re ready to approach your healing with curiosity, compassion, and depth, I’m so glad you’re here.
Meet Samantha Vellozzi, LMFT
Therapist for Individuals in Scottsdale, AZ
Hi, I’m Samantha, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual therapy in Arizona and California for young adults & women navigating anxiety, life transitions, and identity development.
I work with capable, empathic individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain — especially during early adulthood, motherhood, or other major life changes. My approach blends CBT and DBT therapy with compassion and insight, helping clients build emotional regulation skills, self-trust, and a clearer sense of purpose.
With extensive experience in residential and IOP levels of care, I bring a strong foundation in emotional safety, body image concerns, and understanding eating-related coping patterns — framed not as diagnoses, but as learned responses to stress and unmet needs. This background allows me to support meaningful, sustainable growth in a grounded and thoughtful way.
If you’re looking for virtual therapy for anxiety, self-discovery, and life transitions with a therapist who is warm, skilled, and collaborative, I’d be honored to support you.
Therapy Services
Identity & Life Transition Therapy
This work is for individuals at life crossroads — graduating, starting careers, entering or navigating motherhood, or reevaluating direction — who feel capable but not fully at home in their own lives. Together, we explore identity, values, and purpose to help you feel more grounded, intentional, and aligned with the life you want to create.
Anxiety Therapy
This therapy is for individuals who “manage everything well — except their inner experience,” offering tools and emotional insight to navigate perfectionism, chronic stress, and unhelpful coping patterns. By blending CBT and DBT skills with reflective exploration, it supports both emotional stability and personal growth.
Relational & Family Systems–Informed Work
Collateral support designed to complement individual therapy by addressing the family and relational systems that shape identity, emotional regulation, and coping patterns. This service may involve intentional, time-limited involvement of family members or key supports to enhance insight, alignment, and healing, always in support of the individual client’s therapeutic goals.
