About Samuel
Samuel Kurkiewicz is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with about 20 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem, career concerns, parenting, depression, and coping with life changes. He also offers coaching for practical goals and motivation.
Samuel centers sessions on straightforward conversation and practical steps. He listens to the story a person brings and helps identify small changes that can ease daily pressure. He uses familiar tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-focused methods to clarify what matters most.
Work often includes setting realistic goals and building routines that support them. For parenting concerns, he helps parents think through boundaries, communication, and stress management tied to family responsibilities. When relationship tension shows up, he supports clearer communication and problem solving.
He draws on several established approaches depending on the issue and the person. That can mean emotion-focused work to identify feelings, dialectical skills for handling intense reactions, or client-centered conversation that follows the person’s lead. Sessions are practical and paced to fit everyday life.
People who come for coaching get structured guidance on motivation, planning, and follow-through. Samuel emphasizes small, repeatable actions that add up. If you want to try a first session the next step is to pick an online option and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
How Samuel blends specific approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches simple techniques to reduce worry and lift mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming feelings, and on improving emotional communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will help you decide which methods to try based on your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let a person use video when discussing relationship or parenting communication, or use an audio call for a quicker, less bandwidth-heavy session. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to the online setting so the tools still focus on useful skills and clearer communication.
