About Samuel
Samuel Higgerson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on practical problems people bring from daily life, such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, and work-related pressures. Samuel also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges.
In sessions he keeps conversation direct and grounded. He listens for what’s causing the most disruption at home, work, or caregiving roles. Then he helps identify small, concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Expect straightforward talk about patterns, behaviors, and choices that affect wellbeing.
Samuel uses several therapeutic approaches to guide sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. He integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to clarify values and practical action. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and closeness are central concerns.
He asks about daily routines, support systems, and immediate stressors. This helps set goals that fit a person’s real life. Sessions often include skills practice, problem solving, and reflection on patterns that keep problems recurring.
Samuel works in English and practices in Illinois. The intake starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Samuel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions often focus on simple experiments and step-by-step behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and commit to small actions that matter. ACT techniques help when someone feels stuck or conflicted about what matters most.Attachment-Based Therapy appears when relationship patterns are central. This approach looks at how early and current relationship experiences shape expectations and reactions. The therapist helps people name those patterns and try new ways of relating that fit their goals.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins around work or caregiving. It can also let sessions focus on skills practice and real-life problem solving that translate to everyday routines.
