How Paul works
Paul encourages small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life. Across his career he has helped clients with career struggles, coping with life changes, eating and sleeping problems, and issues related to HIV/AIDS and military service. He also addresses personality-related concerns and supports people in the LGBT community with relevant stressors.
Paul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. He listens first, then offers tools and strategies that match a client’s goals. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what’s working.
Sessions are available in formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.

How evidence-based care translates to online therapy
Paul works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and skills people can use day to day. One common approach is skill-building therapy that teaches tools for coping with cravings, mood dips, or anxiety; it helps by giving practical steps to try between sessions. Another helpful technique targets trauma recovery by helping people process upsetting memories in manageable pieces while teaching grounding and emotional regulation strategies.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paul listens to each person’s goals and life context, and then recommends which techniques to try first. He reviews progress together and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people meet face to face, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in, and chat or text can fit short updates or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
