About Samuel
Samuel Kurkiewicz integrates evidence-informed methods into a collaborative counseling style, drawing on two decades of clinical work to help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career challenges, and shifts in life circumstances.
Background and approach
As an FL LMHC (license MH24513), he centers sessions on practical skill-building and clear goals while respecting each person's unique strengths and priorities. Samuel emphasizes building confidence, improving communication, and reducing patterns that undermine wellbeing so clients can pursue meaningful change.
He uses a mix of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques, tailoring interventions to the concerns at hand such as depression, self-esteem, parenting pressures, or midlife questions. Samuel also addresses related areas like control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, and financial stress, combining short-term strategies with work on longer-standing patterns.
His writing and voice encourage people to see themselves as the expert of their story while offering structure and support for taking the next steps toward clearer purpose and healthier functioning.
Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility
Samuel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward meaningful life goals. These methods are presented in accessible, skill-focused ways aimed at producing practical improvements in daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which strategies and interventions align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
