About Samuel
Samuel Kurkiewicz is a Florida LMHC with 20 years of counseling experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, career questions, parenting strain, and depression. He also helps people facing life changes and those looking for coaching-style support.
Samuel emphasizes direct, practical conversations about the problems that brought someone in.

He uses clear techniques from approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide the work.
Clients can expect straightforward questions and concrete skills to try between meetings. Samuel pays attention to communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with guilt or shame. He also addresses impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, and concerns about money and life purpose.
He supports people dealing with family problems, dependent personality traits, forgiveness work, and men's issues including midlife questions. Sessions may include goal setting and coaching elements for those focused on motivation, career direction, or financial stress.
Samuel works in English and practices in Florida. He recognizes that many problems are connected to day-to-day patterns, and he helps people break those cycles with practical steps and talking through emotional blocks.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift hard-to-reach emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. It is often used when relationship patterns and attachment feelings are central concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing thoughts and staying focused on valued actions, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's perspective and encourages honest conversation and reflection to build clearer goals and direction.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samuel will discuss what feels most useful during initial meetings and adjust methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. The first sessions are often exploratory to find a practical fit.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or letting conversations happen from quieter surroundings. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to keep momentum on coaching and goal work without changing daily routines.
