About Samuel
Samuel Kurkiewicz is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 20 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career issues, coping with life changes, parenting, depression, and coaching. Samuel writes plainly and works in a practical way that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions he helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and tries different ways of responding. Expect conversations that look at thoughts, feelings, and actions and how those link to daily problems like work strain or relationship tension.
Samuel often focuses on communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and struggles tied to money and life purpose. These are handled with practical steps and exercises aimed at changing patterns over time.
He supports people dealing with midlife shifts and men’s issues, and works with those trying to rebuild self-love and confidence. Sessions include structured work and opportunities to reflect on progress and setbacks.
Samuel asks new clients to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. He notes that sessions use a cancellable subscription model that varies by location.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Samuel commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in his work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values and life goals.He also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions person-focused, listening for what matters most to the individual. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; he helps clients choose methods based on their problems, goals, and what feels most useful in practice.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the original biography does not list specific online formats. Ask which session formats are offered and how they fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and match session style to what will work day-to-day.
