About Samuel Baker

Samuel Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) who brings a practical, strengths-based focus to psychotherapy. He earned a master’s degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2015 and completed clinical training in Atlanta, Georgia. Independently licensed since August 2020, he is credentialed to practice in Texas, Georgia, and Indiana and has five years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns.

He practices Solution Focused Brief Therapy, a short-term, goal-directed model that emphasizes clients’ existing strengths and resources. Samuel’s role is to ask targeted questions that clarify desired outcomes, highlight what is already working, and point toward manageable steps forward. The approach centers on practical progress rather than extended analysis of problems, with the intent that clients leave sessions feeling more hopeful and capable of handling life’s challenges.

Samuel does not provide direct advice or formal diagnostic evaluations, nor does he complete forms or write letters on behalf of clients for emotional support animals, work or school accommodations, or legal matters. His work is collaborative - he helps clients articulate their "best hopes," map current life details in relation to those goals, and notice incremental improvements. He emphasizes clear, human communication and strives to develop rapport through down-to-earth interaction and carefully constructed questions that reflect attention to detail.

Samuel is transparent about professional boundaries and limitations. He notes that telehealth is not appropriate for individuals experiencing acute suicidal or homicidal ideation; anyone in crisis should contact Emergency Medical Services at 911, the National Crisis Hotline at 988, or go to the nearest emergency room. If a client decides Samuel is not the right fit, they may change therapists at any time without repercussions.

One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which helps therapy fit into busy schedules and varied routines. That flexibility can make it easier to maintain regular contact and follow through on therapeutic goals.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is desired. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to engage in evidence-informed approaches with trained therapists while balancing life’s demands.
