Over 15 years of practice, Paul has supported people with depression, ADHD, grief, bipolar concerns, parenting strain, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. He also works with people exploring sexuality, including kink and BDSM topics, and with those affected by addiction and co-occurring problems. His approach aims to be practical and nonjudgmental.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals, helping people feel heard and seen while they decide what change looks like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is mixed or change feels hard by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal reasons for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest ways to combine methods. The plan is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person visits when useful. It can also make some exercises easier to do at home, and it supports steady progress by removing logistical barriers to regular meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking tools to work well in remote sessions.
