Samuel "Sam" Fuller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports adults and adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, self-esteem and body image concerns, and questions about gender identity. He works with people seeking clearer communication and stronger relationship skills, as well as those managing social anxiety, life transitions, and the search for greater self-love and life purpose.

Trained in Motivational Interviewing, Mind-Body Bridging, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sam integrates humanistic, behavioral, and psychodynamic perspectives to create individualized care. His clinical approach emphasizes practical skills and exploration of underlying patterns so clients can make meaningful changes that align with their values.

During his undergraduate studies he accumulated more than five years of experience with families and parents at Utah Behavior Services, helping to build healthier parenting and communication strategies. While completing graduate training he provided substance use and mental health treatment to adults in recovery at Davis Behavioral Health. He brings three years of clinical experience and a focus on stress, anxiety, relationships, LGBT issues, and isolation to his practice in Utah.

Outside of clinical work Sam enjoys cooking, watching movies, running, record shopping, following Denver Broncos games, and spending time with loved ones, including his cat Zelda.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care

Samuel "Sam" Fuller draws on several evidence-based techniques adapted for remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to change patterns of thinking and behavior - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a client's own motivation and commitment to change, which can be especially useful for substance use issues and when making life changes. Mind-Body Bridging explores the connection between physical sensations and emotional states, helping clients recognize how bodily responses relate to stress and anxiety and learn ways to regulate them.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sam works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors techniques so therapy fits the individual's circumstances and pace. Licensed professionals guide the process while clients remain active partners in deciding the best path forward.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work, family, and mobility needs, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
