About Samuel

Samuel "Sam" Fuller focuses on helping people who feel stuck by low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety. He works with those sorting questions about gender identity and body image. Sam supports people who want to build stronger communication skills and reduce social anxiety.

Sam uses clear, practical steps in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons for change. Sam blends these methods with humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to understand each person's story.

Early in his undergraduate training he spent more than five years working with parents and families at Utah Behavior Services. That work centered on building everyday skills for communication and parenting. He later provided substance use and mental health care for adults in recovery at Davis Behavioral Health while completing his graduate training.

Sam holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as LCSW. He has three years of clinical experience since licensure. He is based in Utah and conducts sessions in English.

Outside of work he enjoys cooking, running, record shopping, watching movies, and following the Denver Broncos. He often mentions his cat Zelda when talking about life outside of practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Sam draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety and low self-esteem. CBT often uses practical exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions. Motivational interviewing is another approach he uses to help people uncover their own reasons for change and plan achievable steps; this is conversational and goal-focused and works well in remote sessions.

He combines these methods with humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives to understand personal history and values. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to shape methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choose sessions that do not require video when bandwidth or comfort are concerns. Many people find these practical benefits helpful when trying to build consistent habits and apply what they learn between sessions.
