About Paul
Paul Steele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Paul also supports people dealing with family conflict, relationship concerns, and LGBT-related issues.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people notice what is happening and try new ways of coping. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing small changes to see what helps. He also draws on longer-term thinking about patterns and motivation when that fits a person's needs.
Paul has worked across many common concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, and career or coaching questions. He can also address conditions such as panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, and ADHD-related struggles. He understands how caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and aging worries can add pressure in everyday life.
People meet him to talk through practical problems like communication breakdowns, control issues, or feeling isolated and stuck. He uses Client-Centered approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to keep sessions focused and useful. Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic ideas appear when exploring deeper patterns and goals.
To begin, a short online questionnaire is used to match and schedule the first session. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Paul uses different approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and aims to create open, respectful conversation. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to make changes, which can be useful for motivation, career moves, or health goals. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time based on what feels most useful. That means sessions may include focused skills practice, goal-setting conversations, or deeper reflection on long-standing patterns depending on need. Confirm the exact online session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around classes, work, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth or a quick update is all that's needed. Overall, the emphasis is on practical help that fits daily life rather than a one-size-fits-all model.Areas of expertise
