Getting to know Buck Black

Why did I become a therapist? I found that I am always talking with and helping others, which I really enjoy. I have envisioned working in private practice since late elementary school. I often have a great deal of fun with my work, and I certainly hope my clients end up having as much fun as I do! I enjoy helping with couples counseling, sex therapy, sex addiction counseling, anger management, and stress management. I teach many coping skills, communication skills, and help people change their thinking and behaviors. Online counseling is now 100% of my services, and the good news is that I have 20 years of experience! I started out with phone sessions and then added video when it became more mainstream and higher quality. Teletherapy is working out really well. Most of my clients really enjoy the convenience. I have noticed a significant improvement in video and audio quality since the beginning of the pandemic as people are getting better devices and internet. If you are worried about the quality, I encourage you to give online therapy a try using your newest mobile device and staying close to your Wi-Fi router. Old devices and weak Wi-Fi seem to be the most common problems with our online sessions. Remember, if the connection fails, we can always switch to phone. I was introduced to teletherapy by helping people over the phone at the Crisis Center in Lafayette, Indiana, where I volunteered for over 500 hours. Since I have been working in this realm for 20 years, I am very comfortable with it and prefer it due to the flexibility it offers. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Indiana University and my Bachelor's degree from Purdue University, which laid the foundation for my career in therapy.
