Samuel Bisset, LPC

Samuel Bisset is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He creates a calm, collaborative space where clients can talk through worries, clarify priorities, and build skills that fit their daily lives. He presents as approachable and steady in sessions.

Bisset 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 across varied settings. That range shapes a practical, flexible way of working.

The main approach he uses is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on identifying personal values and taking action that aligns with them even when feelings are hard. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, exposure and response prevention, and nature-based wellness practices when they fit the client's goals.

He describes his practice as queer-affirming and inclusive of BIPOC experiences, paying attention to how identity and culture affect stress, anxiety, and life transitions. He aims to help people facing identity questions, workplace strain, immigration-related stress, or midlife shifts.

Clients often come to address ADHD-related challenges, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, social anxiety, and questions about sexuality or gender. Sessions emphasize clear steps, experiments between meetings, and ongoing review of what is or isn't working.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when anxiety or difficult thoughts are present. It usually involves identifying actions you can try and noticing which ones matter most. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) focuses on gradually facing feared situations or thoughts while reducing compulsive responses, commonly used for obsessive and compulsive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative way to resolve mixed feelings about change and build motivation by exploring personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time, blending techniques so the plan stays useful and manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be more consistent. Online work can make it easier to attend brief check-ins between in-person commitments or to schedule sessions around work. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other formats are available. The focus remains on helping people use evidence-based tools in ways that fit their daily life.
