About Paul

Paul Sohr is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting strains, grief, and related issues. Paul also lists work around intimacy, self-esteem, bipolar conditions, and coping with life changes.

He frames people as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and direct. Paul helps people talk through current problems, set goals, and try small changes that can reduce daily pressure.

Paul uses client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness. That means conversations focus on the person’s perspective while identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing simpler ways to cope. He often combines those methods with ideas from the Gottman Method for relationship communication and motivational interviewing when change feels stalled.

People contact him about parenting stress, blended family challenges, and family-of-origin issues. He also works with concerns such as addiction, codependency, sexual and kink-related topics, and HIV/AIDS-related stress. He describes work on attachment, communication, impulsivity, infidelity, and separation as part of his practice.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. Paul helps people set short-term goals and track what works between meetings. He encourages practical steps people can use at home and in everyday family life.

How sessions work

How Paul combines therapy approaches and online work

Paul often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many daily stressors because it focuses on concrete thoughts and behaviors.

He also uses a client-centered approach that puts the person’s own perspective first. That means conversations follow what matters most to the client, and the therapist helps clarify goals and strengths rather than directing every step.

The Gottman Method appears in his work for improving communication and handling relationship conflicts. Those ideas can help people learn clearer ways to talk and to reduce repeated patterns that increase tension at home.

Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the early work. Paul will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include short experiments between sessions to see what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during breaks. Talk with him after the initial questionnaire to confirm which session formats and schedules will fit into your life.
