Paul Steele

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, family conflict, and questions about life purpose. He also supports people dealing with motivation, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

In sessions he uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions. He also brings elements of Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work when people want practical steps and clearer goals.

Paul aims to create an environment where problems are named plainly and workable plans are made. He listens for patterns that keep concerns repeating and suggests small changes to test between meetings. He pays attention to family dynamics, caregiving stress, and issues that often come with aging or blended families.

People come to him for help with career doubts, panic or obsessive thoughts, compassion fatigue, or questions about identity and belonging. He will talk through coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to relieve persistent low mood. He also addresses grief and past trauma with a steady, measured pace.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Paul notes that subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, and rates vary by location.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Paul often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and making the conversation reflect what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, person-focused way to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and encourages testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the best method is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That plan can change as progress is tracked and new priorities appear, so the client helps shape what follows.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter focused check-ins, or remove travel time. It can also let someone use a telephone visit when camera time is difficult or choose a video meeting for more face-to-face interaction. These practical options help therapy fit into everyday routines while the therapist and client focus on clear steps and coping strategies.
