About Paul
Paul Farley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, LGBT issues, grief, career questions, depression and life changes. Paul also lists coaching and intimacy-related concerns among his focus areas.
He uses talk-based methods to help people make practical changes. Sessions often involve looking at patterns of thought and behavior, practicing new ways of handling difficult moments, and naming how past experiences shape current reactions. Paul mixes structured techniques with open conversation to suit what each person needs.
Many clients look to him for help with relationship problems, communication struggles, and attachment or abandonment issues. He also supports people managing mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, and those coping with loss or major life transitions. He notes experience with gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns.
Paul draws on several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Client-Centered Therapy. He explains methods in clear language and helps people decide what to try first.
Sessions are provided in English and are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Paul does not accept international clients.

How his approaches translate to online work
Paul often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them, notice avoiding behaviors, and practice small actions that align with personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, which many people find helpful for panic, depression, and everyday anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul discusses options with each person and picks or adapts methods based on goals, preferences, and what happens in sessions. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels workable.
Session-format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example by cutting commute time, allowing shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to move between structured skill practice and open conversation in the same meeting, depending on what a client needs that week.
