About Paul
LPC, LMHC in Florida with 17 years of experience, Paul Steele helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. He also works with clients on motivation, life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ issues. Sessions focus on practical talk and clearer steps forward.
Paul uses a mix of Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change and Solution-Focused ideas to set small, achievable goals. Those approaches guide short-term problem solving and longer conversations about patterns that matter.
In a session Paul listens for what matters most and then helps people break those concerns into manageable parts. He will talk through coping strategies for panic, depressive periods, or overwhelming stress. He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues by focusing on communication and practical steps.
Paul's background includes work with family conflict, blended family issues, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and several mood and anxiety conditions such as OCD and panic attacks. He also supports career and life-purpose questions and offers coaching-style guidance when clients want clearer direction.

How Paul uses specific approaches in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies concerns, and supports the client's own problem-solving for issues like relationship strain and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and OCD by trying simple experiments, tracking thoughts, and testing new responses to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use, based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Working remotely can also help someone keep appointments during work breaks or when arranging care for others, while allowing the therapist to use CBT exercises, motivational interviewing, and client-centered conversations in the same way they would in person.
