Zalman (Samuel) Nelson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi, I’m Zalman. Great to meet you. So you’re looking for a therapist? That’s awesome. It takes courage to be here and you clearly have it!

As for me, I’m a therapist with over 15 years of online therapy work: phone/video calls, text. It’s a passion of mine to use digital tools to help people: learn the emotional life skills they need to handle feelings, validate themselves, learn from emotional triggers, improve confidence and communication, and upgrade all of their relationships.

And by adding inner child healing to the work, we get to the core of the issues. That way you get more effective, faster-achieved, and longer-lasting results that you’ll see soon after you start…not after months. Results that you’ll learn how to self-maintain and continue to develop. The goal is for you to fire me as soon as possible because you gained the knowledge, insight, tools, and skills to manage your own emotions and navigate the situations and relationships you encounter each day.

My training includes a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, where I focused on Addictions treatment and did field placement work with an Inpatient Addiction Recovery center and the 12-Step community. Along with spiritual learning and a soulful background, I see much effectiveness from drawing upon and blending a broad range of tools, approaches, techniques, and philosophies that unite to provide what clients uniquely need in order to thrive, heal, grow, find happiness and success and confidence, and stand on their own two feet.

Learn more about me online and on social media. Or sign up today and we’ll get to work 🙂

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?


Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy provides a convenient path to consistent, professional support for many common mental health and life challenges.
