Online support options
Approach and online therapy options
Paul blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviors and teaches skills to manage anxiety, depression, and impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative plan can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking goals between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking.
