Samuel Gaspard, LPC

Samuel Gaspard is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of direct experience supporting youth, adolescents, and adults in a community mental health setting that serves at-risk young people and their families. He helps clients address stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression while partnering with them to build practical skills and clearer perspectives. Samuel emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly, and he frames seeking help as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life.

Samuel practices through the lens of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, integrating techniques from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor care to each person’s goals. He has also completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and he intends to continue pursuing certification in those areas. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor credential that denotes state-approved training and supervised clinical experience - he focuses on supporting clients through change, skill-building, and empowerment on the path toward improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Samuel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into his online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and low mood, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness to address intense emotions and relationship challenges.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set clear, achievable goals and notice small changes that move them toward those goals. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process - Samuel works with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies as things evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client while working with a licensed professional.
