Samuel Bisset, LPC

Samuel Bisset is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience helping people navigate stressful transitions and questions about purpose. He creates a collaborative, respectful space where clients can name what matters and take small steps toward change. Samuel is queer-affirming and attentive to multicultural concerns, so identity and social context are part of the work.

He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people live in line with their values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and on motivational interviewing to support people who want clearer direction. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is part of his approach for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

Samuel has worked in individual counseling, forensic assessment, and clinical supervision roles across his career. That range gives him experience with life transitions, workplace stress, immigration-related concerns, and identity exploration. He often helps people facing anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, or midlife questioning to sort priorities and find manageable next steps.

Sessions focus on practical skills and on testing what actually helps day to day. He works with career and coaching concerns, sexuality and gender questions, and social anxiety or phobia. Samuel encourages clients to try short experiments between sessions and to revise plans as they learn what fits.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take concrete steps toward them. In an online setting ACT focuses on short exercises, values clarification, and practical experiments clients can try between meetings to test what helps.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational approach that supports change by resolving uncertainty and strengthening motivation. Online sessions use guided questions and collaborative planning to move from ambivalence toward action. Exposure and response prevention addresses obsessive thoughts and repetitive behaviors by designing gradual, supported steps to reduce compulsive responses, which can be practiced and reviewed during remote sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samuel will collaborate with each person to tailor techniques to their goals, preferences, and daily routines. The therapist reviews what’s working and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets clients practice skills in the contexts where they live and work so progress transfers to everyday life.
