About Paul
Paul Farley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and personal growth. Paul also lists work with ADHD, LGBT concerns, grief, intimacy-related problems, and career and life transitions.
Paul uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises rather than long lectures. He helps people name what is happening, learn small skills to manage strong feelings, and practice new ways of communicating. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and down-to-earth, so parents and adults juggling home pressures can try concrete steps between meetings.
His approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused thinking, and EMDR for trauma work. That mix means sessions can include noticing thoughts and values, skill practice for anxiety, and processing painful memories when appropriate. Paul adapts methods to a person’s pace and tolerance.
He has worked with adults facing isolation, identity questions, and life changes. Paul also notes experience with people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, infidelity, and family problems. Those themes often come up alongside stress, mood shifts, and relationship strain.
People who choose Paul will find a practical therapist who uses evidence-informed methods to address everyday household strains and deeper emotional wounds. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and can expect to discuss goals and a simple plan in early meetings.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. For someone coping with parenting stress or a difficult relationship, ACT can help identify priorities and reduce getting stuck in anxious thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. That approach is frequently used for anxiety, low mood, and improving daily routines that affect home life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports clearer expression and understanding of strong emotions in interpersonal situations, which can help when communication patterns cause repeated conflict.Choosing how to work together is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try initial tools, and adjust methods based on what the person finds useful. That means the mix of ACT, CBT, EFT, or trauma-focused work is decided together rather than fixed up front.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit meetings into a busy household routine. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Ask about session length and any technical or practical preferences when arranging the first appointment.
