About Samuel
Samuel earned a Bachelor of Arts in Classics from Texas Tech University and a Master of Arts in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Midwestern State University. He has worked in individual counseling, forensic assessment, and clinical supervision, which gives him a wide perspective on common challenges people face.
In sessions he uses ACT alongside elements from psychodynamic work, motivational interviewing, and exposure and response prevention. He adapts these methods to match each person's needs, focusing on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. He also incorporates wilderness wellness ideas when they fit a person's goals.
He helps people with stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, career and workplace issues, and questions about sexuality and identity. He is queer-affirming and inclusive of BIPOC experiences, and he pays attention to how culture and social pressures affect day-to-day life.
Samuel describes therapy as a process of collaboration. He supports people who want coping skills, clarity about life purpose, or help facing compulsions or social anxiety. Prospective clients in Texas can learn about his practice and next steps before deciding to schedule.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It emphasizes practical exercises and committed action rather than just changing thoughts. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) focuses on reducing compulsive behaviors by gradually facing feared situations and learning new responses. It is often used for obsessive or compulsive patterns and related anxieties.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you will choose techniques that match your needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats he currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It can also allow for shorter conversations on busy days or longer sessions when more time is helpful, making it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life.
