Online support

Therapeutic approaches available online

Dr. Paul uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online work. Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and purpose and can help when life changes feel overwhelming or empty. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a genuine, empathic relationship where the therapist listens without judgment to help people find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns and interactions in close relationships and can be useful for addressing intimacy-related issues and recurring hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Paul will discuss goals, preferences, and what matters most in early sessions and will suggest ways of working together. The plan can be changed as needed so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or between-session contact. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
