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 focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also works with issues related to trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and career challenges.
Paul keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He listens first, then helps people sort priorities and make practical changes. Conversations often focus on current problems, clearer decisions, and small steps clients can try between sessions.
In blended households he helps individuals manage loyalty conflicts, step-parenting doubts, and the practical strain of merging routines. He supports people who are co-parenting across household lines, handling communication problems, or coping with changes after a new partner moves in. He frames these topics in plain terms and looks for steps that fit everyday life.
Paul draws on a mix of approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to balance listening with active problem solving. He also uses solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to keep work goal-oriented. When needed he explores longer patterns with psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring relationship themes.
His practice style is direct and respectful. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Paul commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change and Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals. These methods help with stress, blended family challenges, relationship doubts, and life changes by keeping sessions practical and move-oriented.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a way forward. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
