Samuel Myrick, LCSW

Samuel Myrick is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people dealing with addiction and related challenges. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. He aims to offer a direct, compassionate space for people grappling with shame, mood swings, or hurt from past trauma.

He has ten years of experience as a clinician and brings personal insight from his own long-term recovery. That background informs how he talks about relapse, cravings, and the daily work of staying well. Samuel works in ways that respect each person's identity, including LGBTQ+ people, and pays attention to how past relationships shape present choices.

Sessions are client-centered and trauma-informed. Samuel helps people identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and practice clearer communication. He also supports work on attachment wounds, body image concerns, and the effects of chronic pain or illness on mood and motivation.

He addresses a wide range of concerns related to addiction, including drug and alcohol issues, co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder, and the emotional fallout of relationship endings. The focus is on steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Samuel asks people to be active partners in therapy. He uses straightforward conversation and concrete tools to help clients manage panic, reduce shame, and strengthen relationships. People who want an empathic, experienced clinician to walk with them through recovery and change may find his style helpful.

Approaches that guide online care and recovery work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on concrete tools and real-life practice. One common approach helps people track triggers and build coping skills to manage cravings and strong emotions; it emphasizes learned strategies people can use day to day. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps people understand how past hurts and attachment patterns affect current relationships and choices, and it supports safer ways to test new behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy rather than a one-time decision. Samuel works collaboratively with each person to try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and what feels doable. He values steady progress and practical outcomes over quick fixes.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use text or audio in ways that suit their comfort level, but be sure to verify which formats this therapist currently offers.
