About Paul
Paul Sohr is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, trauma and grief.
Background and approach
With 15 years of professional experience, he brings an outcomes-oriented yet collaborative attitude to helping clients navigate life transitions, intimacy-related concerns, parenting difficulties, anger and self-esteem struggles, as well as career and bipolar-related challenges.
Paul works from a strengths-based perspective that honors each person as the expert on their own life while offering clinical skills to identify patterns and build practical tools. He combines evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are involved.
His practice also addresses additional focus areas like attachment and communication problems, codependency, blended family and divorce issues, substance and sexual health topics, and questions around infidelity or control. Clients can expect direct, empathetic support aimed at measurable change.
Paul’s background and training equip him to tailor interventions to the specific goals and circumstances each person brings to therapy, working alongside them to develop sustainable coping skills and clearer pathways forward.
Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help
Paul commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. This approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and many day-to-day coping challenges.He also integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening, validation, and building a collaborative therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard while they explore goals and values. When relationship dynamics are a focus, elements of the Gottman Method may be incorporated to improve communication and repair patterns between partners.
Determining which approach or combination of approaches fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions accordingly rather than assuming a single method will work for everyone.
Online therapy with this practice is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or geographic distance. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy in ways that fit daily life while still working toward meaningful change.
