Samuel Gaspard , LPC

Samuel Gaspard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of experience supporting youth, adolescents, and adults in a community mental health setting serving at-risk youth and their families. He specializes in working with stress, anxiety, anger, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression, and he often supports clients facing attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, relationship and communication challenges, and workplace or social anxiety. Samuel approaches counseling through a Dialectical Behavior Therapy lens, while drawing on Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to tailor practical strategies to each person’s needs.

He emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly, and he works to empower clients as they take the courageous first steps toward change. Samuel has completed additional training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and he intends to continue pursuing certification in those areas. He aims to help clients build coping skills, address impulsivity and guilt, and explore life purpose and interpersonal concerns. He is not currently accepting new clients.

Practical Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. It is commonly used to reduce worry, manage mood, and build practical coping skills for everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies, teaching skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help with intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients’ strengths and goals, using short-term, action-oriented techniques to identify small changes that lead to noticeable improvements.

Samuel uses these evidence-based approaches to guide sessions and tailors them to each person’s needs. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - he collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that feels practical and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing work to happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt approaches to each client’s situation.
