About Samuel
Samuel Kurkiewicz is a licensed mental health counselor who centers his work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, career decisions, and major life changes. He brings twenty years of practice in Florida and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Samuel uses a few different approaches depending on what a person needs.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people better understand and name their emotions, and he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to change unhelpful thinking and build meaningful action.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with a pace set by each client. People often come to him for depression, motivation issues, or to work through parenting stress and communication problems. He also supports those facing guilt, shame, feelings of emptiness, isolation, or midlife questions about purpose and direction.
Samuel helps clients translate insight into day-to-day habits that ease distress. In sessions he listens first, then offers techniques that fit the client’s situation and temperament. He emphasizes small, achievable steps so progress feels real and manageable.
He encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to build from them. Samuel works with straightforward language and practical tools rather than academic jargon. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful for people juggling work, family, and other obligations.
If someone wants help sorting priorities, improving communication, or finding clearer goals, he offers steady guidance and a plan for moving forward.

Online support
How emotion-focused and action-based therapy work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice, name, and make sense of strong emotions so they can respond differently to stressful moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and then taking small steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behavior, and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether emotion-focused exploration, skill building, or values-based action is the best path forward and adjust that plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical tools.
