About Samuel
Samuel "Sam" Fuller offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or questions about identity. He speaks plainly and focuses on building concrete skills that make daily life easier. Sam uses short-term goals and steady check-ins so progress is visible and manageable.
Sam is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with three years of clinical experience. He has helped people with self-esteem, body image, social anxiety, and LGBT-related concerns.
How Samuel works
He also supports those who want better communication, less isolation, and clearer direction about life purpose and self-love. Sam blends humanistic, behavioral, and psychodynamic perspectives to tailor sessions to each person. He draws on techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Mind-Body Bridging, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide work on thoughts, actions, and bodily reactions.
Sessions typically include goal setting, skill practice, and gentle reflection on patterns that keep problems going. Early in his training he spent over five years working with families and parents at Utah Behavior Services. During graduate school he provided substance use and mental health care to adults in recovery at Davis Behavioral Health.
These roles shaped his focus on practical skills and clear communication. Outside of work Sam enjoys cooking, running, record shopping, watching movies, following the Denver Broncos, and time with his cat Zelda. He aims to make sessions approachable and useful, with tools people can use between meetings.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Sam draws on several evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and social fears. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and builds momentum through short, goal-oriented conversations. Mind-Body Bridging addresses how bodily reactions relate to stress and anxiety and teaches ways to calm the body to reduce emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sam will listen to goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This collaboration helps keep sessions focused and practical so people see small wins quickly.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone calls are good when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for people juggling busy days or varied schedules.
