Online support options
Online approaches that focus on goals and skills
Paul commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what a person wants to change, builds on existing strengths, and sets concrete next steps so progress can be measured.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paul will work with each client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and personal style. He adjusts plans as people try techniques and report what helps or doesn’t work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can provide quick check-ins or short focused work. These formats make it easier to get consistent support while fitting sessions into a busy life.
