Background and approach
Samuel often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live according to their values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and exposure and response prevention when those methods fit the situation. He frames therapy as a tailored process.
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and steady steps that match each person’s needs and pace. He pays attention to how identity, culture, and systems shape mental health and coping. Samuel is queer-affirming and BIPOC-inclusive and works to create a respectful space for diverse identities.
He helps people with issues like gender dysphoria, immigration concerns, obsessions and compulsions, life purpose, sexuality, social anxiety, and workplace stress. Clients meet with him from Texas and communicate in English. Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, and logistics are arranged after completing a short matching questionnaire.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their core values and take steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; online ACT sessions often include exercises, values clarification, and at-home behavioral experiments. Motivational interviewing focuses on increasing personal motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment, which works well in short video or messaging sessions where goals and next steps are clarified. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is used for obsessions and compulsions and involves gradual practice facing feared situations without performing rituals; clinicians can guide ERP over video or phone and assign between-session exercises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match a person’s goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist set goals together and pick formats and techniques that fit daily life.
Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility and variety. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can fit into a busy schedule or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular sessions and practice skills between meetings.
