More about Paul

  • 18 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I have been working as a Clinical Social Worker since 2005 after 30+ years in the Chemical Industry. I have a good understanding of what it means to be human and my life experience has led me down many paths. I believe that therapy provides us a way to discover ourselves. . Based upon my own experience with therapy, I find that having a connection with another human being can help us clarify our own needs and find a path to recovery. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but also use facets from other types. I like DBT and Mindfulness therapy and borrow from them. As a therapist my goal is to help you find the answers that you are seeking. I believe we are in control of our own lives but sometimes we need some help finding our path.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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 provided great support, listening to how I was feeling and provided objective solutions to help solve my problem. I would recommend anyone to Paul who would like to break down any sort of complex problem and objectively find answers.

Reviewed March 2023

I started with Paul a few months ago. At the time I felt like I was in the mix of a downward spiral with no control of my life or emotions. Since talking with paul I feel like I got control of my life again. I found myself in situations where prior I would be a disaster, either with my temper, my emotions, anything. Now when faced with the same situations I feel like I’m in control of them and I can dictate how they will be resolved. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I’m fixed. No that’s not the case. However I can tell you that I feel like I’m now back in control of my life with nothing but positive energy around me.

2 sessions in please give more time to review the man. That being said he gets it, seems like he gets people. Doesn't talk over you, let's you determine what you want out of it, no judgment, throws so knowledge at you and if it sticks it fits. As of right now would recommend Paul
