About Samuel
Samuel Bisset is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, career questions, and LGBT-related concerns, and he lists life purpose among his focus areas.
Samuel earned a B.A. in Classics from Texas Tech University and an M.A. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Midwestern State University. His background includes individual counseling, forensic assessment, and clinical supervision. Those roles shaped how he approaches practical problems and identity questions in therapy.
His main approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which centers on identifying what matters most and taking steps in that direction even when difficult feelings appear. He also uses techniques from psychodynamic work, motivational interviewing, exposure and response prevention, and wilderness wellness methods depending on what a person needs.
In sessions he focuses on clear, concrete goals such as managing anxiety, addressing obsessive thoughts and compulsions, navigating gender dysphoria or sexuality questions, and sorting workplace or immigration-related stress. He describes his practice as queer-affirming and attentive to multicultural and BIPOC experiences.
Samuel helps people examine values, clarify priorities, and test small changes that fit daily life. He encourages collaborative planning and practical skill-building so people can try different ways forward and see what works for them.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-based steps even when difficult feelings arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a short-term technique that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum for those changes. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) involves gradual, guided practice facing feared situations or thoughts to reduce compulsive responses, and it is commonly used for obsessions and compulsions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That looks like setting clear goals together, trying techniques in session, and adjusting the plan based on what is helpful.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Some formats let people choose whether to be on camera, which can help with energy and bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice skills, run exposures, and carry out values-based work in ways that connect to everyday life.
