About Pablo
Pablo Kusak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He draws on seven years of clinical work and personal experience with hard seasons to support people aiming for clearer thinking and steadier days. Pablo uses a person-centered stance in sessions.
That means he listens first, follows the client's lead, and builds goals together. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that bring relief.
Background and approach
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Pablo offers practical tools alongside empathetic listening. He includes solution-focused strategies to set small, doable steps toward change.
For people who have faced trauma, he integrates trauma-focused methods to address past hurts at a pace that fits the individual. Motivational Interviewing is available when someone wants help finding internal reasons to change or build new habits. Pablo also offers Christian counseling when requested.
He aims to create a compassionate space where people feel heard and can work on goals like improving relationships, coping with life changes, managing caregiving stress, or rebuilding self-esteem.
How Pablo’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Pablo often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the individual. In online sessions this means starting where the person is and shaping sessions around their needs and pace.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT adapts well to video or messaging formats because tools like thought records and behavior experiments can be shared and practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pablo collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and he adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and nonverbal cues, phone can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth needed, live chat supports shorter focused conversations, and messaging works for ongoing check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
