More about Sam

  • 18 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I have been in counseling for over 40 years while starting out in the church setting. I became a licensed professional counselor about 17 years ago in order to specialize in certain types of counseling. For the past fifteen years, I have been handling Child Protective Services cases. These have involved family dysfunction, addiction, and abuse of different types. I continue to do religious counseling for people searching for spiritual meaning in life.

I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in theology. I also have a professional counseling degree in psychology. I was a senior pastor of a evangelical church for forty-three years. I have seen the best and worst in people. I have also seen it in myself.

I believe that all people have a positive and successful self. It may take some time to find that person within someone, but it is well worth the search.

I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy as well as Rogerian therapy. Carl Rogers believed that all people deserved to be treated with respect and compassion. I care personally for the clients that I see and invest myself in their wellness.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I really like talking to Sam. We hit it off right away, and he made me feel at ease and like we were equals in our discussions. He made me smile a lot and reminded me about the good things I have done. I feel a lot better after every session with Sam.

Reviewed April 2024

After only a few sessions with Sam he has already removed the anxiety I had around "getting therapy". Sam has made me feel comfortable and allowed me to tell my story while I can tell he genuinely cares and listens. I know we have a lot of work ahead of us but I now look forward to my sessions and feel empowered to have such a person in my life. To anyone reading this who might be on the fence of reaching out for help, you are worth it, you are important and I hope you will also feel the relief that therapy can provide. Thank you Sam.
