I've had very few sessions with Paul, and I only need those couple to know that he's a good man. I'm looking forward to more sessions in the near future
More about Paul
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am licensed in Texas with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflicts, marriage, sexual issues & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
My therapeutic style is kind of like sitting down with a friend and having a cup of coffee. I will listen to your story and help you sort through it. I will be honest and open with you. I am compassionate and caring. My Therapeutic approach is a combination of the Post-Modern styles of therapy. I use what it takes to help you out. I work in a way that is tailored to your issues at the time.
I understand that change can be scary but so can staying stuck in the problem. Let me help find your path forward so that you can move on to a happy and healthy life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Paul is a great listener, which makes the process of opening up much easier. He has an insight on things that have allowed me to understand more about myself. Im extremely grateful for all the help hes given me these past few months!
