About Samuel
Samuel Kurkiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with two decades of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Samuel encourages people to build on their own strengths and to take manageable steps toward the life they want.
He uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing impulsivity, or coping with major life changes. He pays attention to career concerns, money stress, and the strain of parenting when those issues come up.
Samuel draws on several therapy approaches to match a person’s needs. He often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client’s experience. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform his practical skills for emotional regulation and relationship patterns.
People who work with him can expect short-term goal-setting alongside deeper work on self-worth and life purpose. He aims to help people reduce isolation and repair communication problems. Many clients come for coaching-style support as well as traditional therapeutic work.
Samuel offers sessions in English from Florida and is not taking international clients. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Samuel’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and acts. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on a person's own experience, offering a respectful, listening-based space to make sense of difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend techniques or mix approaches that fit those aims. This keeps sessions flexible and tailored rather than fixed to one method.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touch-base is helpful, or camera-off sessions if someone prefers less visual focus. Licensed professionals can use these options to make consistent therapy more practical without changing the core therapeutic work.
