About Paul
Paul Steele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and family concerns listed in his profile. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation rather than long theory talks.
He often helps people dealing with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing career pressures, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Paul uses plain language to talk through problems and to set small, achievable goals.
Paul draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods are used to build momentum and work toward specific goals.
In sessions he listens for what matters most at home and at work, then suggests manageable steps to try between meetings. He steers conversations toward what feels doable, whether that means communication techniques, behavioral experiments, or short-term planning.
People who contact him are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How Paul’s approaches translate to online sessions
Paul uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities, pace, and concerns. That means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and adapts the conversation to immediate needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and repetitive thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by building motivation in short, practical steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals and circumstances. That discussion can happen in the first few sessions and be adjusted over time as progress or obstacles become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into a busy schedule because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Online work also makes it easier to try brief check-ins or focused skill practice during a lunch break or between appointments. Licensed professionals, including this counselor, can use approaches like CBT and solution-focused techniques effectively in remote sessions when the format matches the client’s needs.
