About Samuel
Samuel Staggs is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. He has worked in public agencies and independent practice for over a decade and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Samuel aims to help people build emotional skills rather than rescue them from hard feelings.
He earned a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College in 2011. That education combined with varied life and work experiences shaped his approach.
Background and approach
Samuel has met people from urban and rural communities, Appalachian and multicultural backgrounds, and a range of belief systems. In sessions he focuses on helping clients gain self-control and stronger coping strategies. He teaches practical skills, offers psycho-education, and encourages people to draw on their strengths.
The aim is increased self-reliance and more confidence managing current and past challenges. Samuel describes his style as eclectic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. He adopts methods that fit each person instead of using a single fixed technique.
Expect a nonjudgmental atmosphere and steady encouragement while you work through issues. Many people seek support with relationships, stress, anxiety, grief and parenting concerns. Samuel also helps with career transitions, sleep struggles, self-esteem, and recovery from trauma and abuse.
He works collaboratively to identify steps that feel manageable and useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and trust in their own choices. It helps people feel heard and become more confident in deciding what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change habits.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Samuel works together with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can mean combining approaches or shifting strategies as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and routines. Video lets you have a fuller conversation when you want face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and coaching-style supports easy to fit into a break at work or a busy parenting schedule. These options help people maintain continuity of care and access support across locations.
