Everything Samuel lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many of Samuel's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, teachable strategies. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, and negative self-talk. Another approach centers on behavioral activation - planning routine, meaningful activities to lift mood and increase motivation when depression makes daily life feel heavy.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss these approaches with each person and choose tools based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are paced to what feels workable and adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other commitments.
