About Paul

Paul Sohr is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and major life transitions. He brings 15 years of clinical experience and emphasizes practical steps people can use right away. He works from a strengths-based view and treats each person as the expert in their own life.

He helps clients with relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to sexual identity. He also supports people facing trauma, addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and the strain of changing life roles. His additional focus areas include attachment patterns, communication problems, and family of origin issues.

Paul draws on several approaches to shape sessions to individual needs. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress. He also uses mindfulness and motivational strategies to help people make steady changes.

In sessions, he aims for clear goals and small, achievable steps. Conversations tend to be direct, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace. He encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to apply those strengths to hard situations.

Paul accepts clients who are located in Florida and also works with international clients in English. He asks interested people to use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule time based on availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard and understood; online sessions can still provide that space by focusing on attentive listening and reflective feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, and it adapts well to remote sessions where homework and skill practice are assigned between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. The choice of techniques evolves from what the client wants to change and what feels doable in real life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shortening commute time, and making it easier to check in between appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter or more frequent meetings when that suits progress and daily routines.
