About Paul
Paul Moffett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of practice in inpatient, outpatient, residential, and personal settings. He brings long experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, addiction issues, trauma, and life changes. Paul uses direct, practical work aimed at real-life improvements.
He favors clear, hands-on approaches that focus on what people can do now. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and setting small goals to test changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Paul blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with client-centered listening to keep therapy grounded and relevant. Paul also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people hold difficult feelings while still moving toward their values. Attachment-based perspectives guide work on relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.
These approaches are used to address grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges when they arise. He has worked across a wide range of settings and with many life stages, bringing that breadth to one-on-one and group work. Paul aims to create a supportive atmosphere where people can be honest about setbacks and try new ways of coping.
He pays attention to practical obstacles like daily routines and support systems. Sessions may include brief skills practice, behavior tracking, and conversations about relationship patterns. Paul helps people build manageable steps toward clearer goals.
For those juggling work, family, or recovery, he focuses on usable strategies that fit day-to-day life.
How these approaches translate to online work
Paul commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult feelings while still taking meaningful action. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change day-to-day patterns.He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and building a collaborative relationship. This means the therapist and client decide together which methods fit best, and adjustments are made as goals evolve. Finding the right mix is an ongoing process rather than a single choice.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or progress notes between sessions. Those options let people keep momentum, practice skills in real time, and schedule sessions around work or caregiving demands.
