About Paul
Paul Steele is a licensed counselor with 17 years of experience. He holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practices as an LMHC in Florida. He focuses on straightforward, respectful care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.

Background and approach
Paul draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Paul listens, asks clarifying questions, and suggests simple exercises you can try between meetings.
He aims to make sessions feel like useful problem-solving rather than abstract talk. His practice is based in Florida and sessions are offered in English. Paul emphasizes respect and compassion in every step.
If you’re nervous about starting, he acknowledges that first step and supports people as they begin.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making the sessions reflect what matters most to you. Online sessions allow this approach to continue with conversational check-ins and personalized pacing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior; online CBT can include guided exercises, worksheets, and homework that you review together during video or chat sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change by exploring values and goals in a collaborative way, which adapts well to short phone check-ins or messaging between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice can change over time based on what you find helpful, and you will be involved in deciding next steps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
