Pablo Kusak

Pablo Kusak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with seven years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues around intimacy and parenting. He also supports people facing career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Pablo draws on a person-centered way of working alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He blends straightforward skills with conversations that help people notice what matters to them. Christian counseling is available when requested.

In sessions he uses techniques from solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to set practical goals. For trauma and abuse he incorporates trauma-focused methods and attention to safety and pacing. He explains options, practices small steps, and tracks progress over time.

People come to him for help with family of origin issues, communication and commitment concerns, and patterns like codependency or control struggles. He also addresses aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and the emotional impacts of cancer or other major health events.

Pablo emphasizes active problem-solving alongside exploring feelings. Sessions typically mix skill practice, reflection, and planning so people can test changes between visits. If someone wants a faith-informed approach, he offers Christian counseling on request.

How Pablo’s approaches work for online sessions

Pablo uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's concerns and values. That approach centers the conversation on what matters to the client and encourages honest reflection and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns and try different behaviors; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about making changes by exploring ambivalence and building motivation in small steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Pablo will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan as sessions progress. The focus is collaborative - deciding on goals, trying strategies, and checking what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to continue work during transitions or when managing caregiving and health appointments. Ask about available session types when you schedule so you know what will work best with everyday life.
