About Samuel
Samuel "Sam" Hackett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. He blends client-centered counseling with practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Sam focuses on clear, useful tools clients can try between sessions to feel more in control of daily life. Sam frames sessions around what matters most to each person.
He listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps. Many people come for help with parenting stress, major life changes, or feelings of depression and isolation.
He often uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and connection concerns. That approach helps break down patterns and teaches concrete ways to improve conversations and reduce conflict.
Sam also uses client-centered methods to keep the person's goals and experiences central to the work. With six years of experience, Sam emphasizes collaboration and practical action.
Sessions are meant to be hands-on, focused on skill building and real-world application. He aims to make ideas feel useful rather than abstract.
Sam offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules. He works with clients on building routines, coping with guilt or shame, navigating attachment questions, and finding greater self-love and purpose.
The plan is simple: identify one or two clear moves and practice them until they become easier.
Gottman-informed and Client-Centered Care Online
Sam integrates the Gottman Method with client-centered therapy to make online work straightforward and focused. The Gottman-informed parts break down interaction patterns and teach practical ways to improve communication and reduce recurring conflicts. Client-centered work keeps the session focused on each person's experience and goals, so the plan grows from what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sam collaborates with clients to decide which methods to use, adjusting techniques according to goals, preferences, and how someone responds. That collaborative rhythm helps make online work feel tailored rather than generic.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for deeper conversation and teaching communication skills. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier if a camera feels distracting. Live chat and messaging are good for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day or a changing schedule.
