About Samuel

Samuel "Sam" Hackett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. He uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Sam aims to give straightforward tools that can be used day to day.

Sam emphasizes clear steps over long conversations. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and build on each person’s strengths. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and relationship concerns in concrete ways.

Background and approach

With six years of experience, Sam focuses on helping people cope with life changes and reduce overwhelming emotions. He supports work on attachment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Sessions often include practice of routines and simple strategies to manage strong feelings.

Sam describes sessions as collaborative and action-oriented. He helps people set small goals and try new behaviors between meetings. Many clients find short practical tasks useful for building confidence and steady progress.

He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Sam works with people who want structure, clearer communication, and tools for navigating everyday challenges. The aim is steady improvement through realistic steps and consistent practice.

Online support

How client-centered and relationship approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel understood and find their own solutions, which is useful for stress, parenting pressure, and life changes.

The Gottman Method centers on clear communication skills and practical exercises for improving how people relate to others. In practice it offers tools for handling conflict, rebuilding trust, and improving everyday interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sam will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set small steps and adjust techniques based on progress and comfort.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill practice in real time. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and for trying different ways of working.
