Samuel Kurkiewicz, LMHC

Samuel Kurkiewicz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of professional counseling experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation and goal setting, self esteem and confidence concerns, depression, and the process of coping with life changes. He emphasizes a strengths-based approach, helping clients recognize and build on their existing resources to address the difficulties that brought them to therapy. He believes clients are the experts in their own stories and collaborates with each person to set practical goals and develop skills for lasting change. Samuel acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy and aims to provide steady, respectful support as clients take those first steps toward change.

His practice focuses on clear communication, practical strategies, and personalized care that align with each client s values and priorities. Samuel invites prospective clients to consider therapy as a collaborative process where insight, skill building, and real-world application come together to improve daily functioning and relationships. He is available to work with adults seeking guidance on emotional well being, life transitions, and improving interpersonal connections.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Samuel integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work, tailoring each approach to the needs of the person he is supporting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical skills to act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathy and nonjudgmental support so individuals can explore their experiences and find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies for identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Samuel works together with clients to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts techniques over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a one size fits all model.

Online therapy with Samuel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from wherever a client is located within the state, and use the formats that best support ongoing progress.
