About Paul
Paul Moffett is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience. He has worked across inpatient, outpatient, residential, and independent practice settings. He brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and aims to help people manage life’s stresses and hard moments.
Paul focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. He also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar challenges, and attention-related concerns.
Background and approach
He uses plain language and steady guidance so people can make gradual changes. His background includes work with individuals, couples, groups, and people in residential programs. That range exposed him to many life stages and situations, from caregiving and aging issues to adoption and attachment concerns.
This experience informs how he tailors each session to a person’s situation and goals. In sessions Paul blends practical techniques with conversational listening. He draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered care to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
He also incorporates acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas when those fit the problem. Paul’s style is straightforward and solution oriented, while keeping room for emotions. He invites people to talk about what’s most pressing and then works with them to set small, doable steps.
For many clients that combination helps reduce overwhelm and restore clearer thinking.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by focusing on small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections; this can help with intimacy, communication, and family concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paul will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. He tailors sessions so techniques are practical and realistic for the client’s daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and full discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins and shorter exchanges possible during busy days.
