He also helps with issues around identity and relationships, including intimacy, commitment, and communication difficulties.

How Paul blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. It helps people feel heard and figure out goals at their own pace. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches tools to change them, which can help with panic, mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about what they want to change, try approaches that fit, and adjust as goals evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For some people, working this way helps maintain momentum between sessions and keeps therapy practical and goal-focused.
