Sam Long is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) in Ohio and the founder of Long Therapy Services, a telehealth-only private practice serving adults across the state. He has over a decade of experience working in mental health settings, including inpatient psychiatric care, crisis intervention, and outpatient therapy. Sam specializes in working with men navigating life transitions, particularly young adults and professionals facing stress related to school, career decisions, identity changes, relationships, and the pressure to perform or provide. Many of the men he works with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their direction, even when things appear “fine” on the outside. His therapeutic style is calm, grounded, and practical. Sam helps clients slow down, clarify what they are carrying, and develop realistic tools for managing anxiety, improving focus and motivation, and making intentional life decisions. He draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and strength-based care, tailoring each session to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sam offers secure online therapy to clients throughout Ohio and provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space for men who want to feel more stable, confident, and purposeful as they move through important stages of life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about your next step, you are not alone. Many of the men I work with are juggling school, career pressure, relationships, and expectations while quietly questioning their direction or sense of purpose. On the outside, things may look fine, but internally it feels exhausting to carry everything without clear answers. I work best with men who want to slow things down, make sense of what they are carrying, and start moving forward with intention. My approach is calm, supportive, and practical. Therapy with me is not about overanalyzing or reliving the past endlessly. It is about understanding what is driving your stress or self-doubt and building tools that actually fit your life. Together, we focus on managing anxiety, improving focus and motivation, navigating life transitions, and developing a clearer sense of direction. I aim to create a space where you can think clearly, speak honestly, and leave sessions with something useful to take with you. I offer secure online therapy to men across Ohio, making it easier to fit support into your schedule. If you are ready to stop carrying everything on your own and start creating steadier momentum in your life, I invite you to reach out.
