Paul Sohr

Paul Sohr is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, and career questions. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and complicated life changes. Paul works from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to recovery and growth.

Paul uses straightforward, practical conversation to identify what matters most to each person. He listens first, then helps set small goals people can try between sessions. Sessions focus on real problems and step-by-step changes rather than jargon or long theories.

Over 15 years in practice, Paul has worked with clients on addiction and anger, LGBT-related concerns, blended family stress, and issues tied to trauma and family of origin. He also addresses codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink when those are part of someone’s life.

His approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and elements of the Gottman method for relationship skills. These methods are used to help people name patterns, try new behaviors, and manage strong emotions.

Paul is licensed in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches and what online work looks like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on the person's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them name what matters and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises in session, practicing CBT skills between meetings, or using Gottman-based tools for relationship skills when relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or let someone connect from a quieter location with less fuss. Licensed professionals adapt the pace, exercises, and homework to what works in a person's day-to-day routine.
