About Samuel
Samuel Higgerson is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Illinois. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with anger and motivation. He also supports those working on parenting skills, self-esteem, confidence, relationship problems, grief, and life changes. He speaks English and has eight years of clinical experience.
Samuel aims to make the therapy room calm and straightforward. He creates space for people to say what they’re feeling without judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit each person’s life. He often blends techniques to match real-world problems rather than following a single script.
In sessions he listens first, then helps clients try tools that can change daily habits and thinking patterns. He uses approaches such as acceptance-based work, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered talking, cognitive strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful. Those methods are used to address things like relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and coping with loss.
Samuel draws on eight years of experience to tailor plans to individual needs. He emphasizes collaboration so clients can pick approaches that feel right. Therapy often includes practice between sessions to build new skills and make progress steady.
Before booking, people should confirm which session formats Samuel currently offers and choose what fits their schedule. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, relationship struggles, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will talk with clients about their needs and goals and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process lets the plan change over time if something isn’t helping.
For practical online therapy details, please confirm which session formats Samuel offers before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Working remotely can also let people practice new skills in day-to-day settings and bring those experiences back to sessions for discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like ACT values work or CBT homework for online sessions so progress continues between meetings.
