Background and approach
He completed a Doctor of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision, which informs how he organizes care and thinks about working with other professionals. His background includes team-based clinical work and long-term individual practice. Paul uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior approaches, and client-centered work.
He emphasizes helping people notice what matters to them, learn skills to manage intense emotions, and change unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going. Sessions are conversational and practical, with tools to use between meetings. He also brings experience with concerns like eating challenges, bipolar disorder, grief, LGBT stressors, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career decisions, and compassion fatigue.
He connects mental health with physical wellbeing and movement, drawing on his experience as a personal trainer and strength coach.

He aims to help people find clearer direction, feel steadier day to day, and take workable steps toward change.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what truly matters and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling intense relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy makes those approaches easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and the use of worksheets or exercises. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get brief coaching or reminders. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, different levels of comfort with cameras, and varied work or travel routines.
