Samuel Myrick, LCSW

Samuel Myrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional challenges and life transitions. He focuses on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and people facing relationship difficulties, trauma, and addiction, and brings personal perspective as someone in long-term recovery.

His practice centers on a compassionate, client-centered approach that attends to healing from shame, managing panic and mood symptoms, and improving communication and relationship dynamics. Samuel integrates trauma-informed care to help clients explore attachment patterns, process difficult experiences, and build resilient coping strategies. He also works with issues related to chronic pain, illness, and disability, as well as eating and body image concerns, substance use, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Samuel offers a nonjudgmental, affirming space where clients can examine family of origin patterns, commitment and control issues, and sexual identity or alternative sex culture matters such as BDSM and kink. He aims to walk alongside clients, honoring each person’s unique journey while empowering them to make meaningful changes and greater emotional balance in their daily life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Samuel emphasizes client-centered therapy, a collaborative approach that prioritizes each person’s goals and lived experience. This method helps clients explore values, improve communication, and work through relationship and attachment concerns at a pace that feels right for them.

He also uses trauma-informed care, which focuses on understanding how past traumatic experiences influence current emotions, behaviors, and relationships. This approach supports processing difficult memories, reducing shame, and building coping strategies for mood and panic-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Samuel partners with clients to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so therapy remains a collaborative process.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home, work, or while traveling within the same country. These options make scheduling easier and help maintain consistent care when life is busy or circumstances change.
