About Paul
Paul Sohr is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship struggles. He works with concerns such as depression, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and codependency. He frames the work around each person's strengths and goals and encourages practical steps toward change.
Paul uses straightforward, collaborative sessions where clients set priorities and try small experiments between meetings. He leans on Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Motivational Interviewing often guides conversations about change when substance use or ambivalence shows up.
With 15 years of experience and an FL LMHC license, Paul brings steady, practical support without jargon. He emphasizes clear goals and regular review of progress so people know whether things are improving. Sessions aim to be focused and conversational rather than overly clinical.
Paul also addresses attachment questions, communication and control problems, blended family stress, and issues around kink and alternative sex culture. He helps people untangle family of origin patterns, guilt and shame, and complications that come with co-occurring issues such as bipolar or substance concerns.
People who want active, goal-focused work may find his style helpful. He encourages small changes that add up over time and supports clients as they test new ways of relating and coping.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and building on a person's own strengths. Online sessions can offer the same attentive conversations where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts together, practicing new behaviors, and reviewing short homework tasks between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people explore their own reasons for change in a nonjudgmental way. It is useful when someone feels stuck about substance use, lifestyle shifts, or other ambivalence and can be used effectively through video or phone conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process includes regular check-ins to see what is helping and what should change.
Confirm session formats before booking since specific delivery methods are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing for shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that match a person's schedule and comfort with being on camera.
