About Paul
LCSW Paul Scheppf practices in Tennessee and has eight years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, anger, and career or life-change issues.
Paul uses a client-centered approach that keeps conversation focused on the person's priorities. He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with emotion regulation and motivation interviewing methods to support behavior change around substance use and other goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than highly structured paperwork exercises.
Many people come to him for problems that affect daily functioning, such as trouble sleeping, feeling isolated, or difficulty communicating with others. He also works with concerns like compassion fatigue, fatherhood questions, first responder stress, and issues related to military service in the armed forces.
Paul adapts pace and emphasis to what each person brings to sessions. He listens for values and practical barriers, then helps set small, achievable steps. Where needed, he addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, or other relationship pain alongside emotional health work.
People can expect clear, straightforward discussion about goals and progress. Paul explains methods in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t working. To begin, the site’s matching process and scheduling tools are used to arrange a first meeting.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. Online sessions following this approach center conversation around what matters most to the client and use questions and reflection to clarify goals and next steps. This approach helps with stress, relationship problems, and life changes by keeping the work practical.Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These skills are useful for anxiety, anger, grief, and compassion fatigue because they help people notice emotions without being overwhelmed. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to change a behavior, such as worrying patterns or substance use, by exploring ambivalence and building commitment in manageable steps.
Finding the best mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to test approaches, adjust techniques, and focus on what the client says is most helpful. Goals, pacing, and homework are decided together so the work fits personal needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions that fit between commitments, or options that avoid being on camera when that is preferable.
