He also supports those coping with depression, ADHD, anger, and self-esteem issues.

Practical approaches and online care
Paul often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of negative thinking and test small changes. CBT sessions focus on simple, clear steps to reframe thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. That work can help people improve communication, feel more supported in close relationships, and understand patterns that fuel conflict or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is a collaboration. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life before suggesting techniques. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, brief coping skills, and ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to get consistent help while juggling work, family, and other demands.
