About Paul

Paul Farley, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan, has eight years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and personal growth. He describes his approach as direct and practical while allowing clients to talk through what matters to them.

Paul helps people address social anxiety, isolation, life transitions, and interpersonal patterns. He also works with concerns such as self-esteem, grief, ADHD, career issues, bipolar and depression, and intimacy-related problems. He includes work around attachment, abandonment, communication problems, infidelity, and gender dysphoria when relevant.

His practice uses a mix of therapy styles to match the issue at hand. He lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) among his approaches. Sessions typically involve talking through experiences and trying practical skills or exercises between meetings.

Paul has experience with people exploring identity and sexuality and with veterans, and he incorporates that background into clinical work when it fits the client's goals. He aims to help clients build clearer communication skills and better patterns in relationships.

He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where choices and action matter.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It often includes practical exercises and homework to build skills for depression, panic, and anxiety.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on daily life. It is commonly applied in trauma-focused work and can be adapted to a client's pace.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses.

Confirm available session formats before booking. Many clients find online sessions easier to fit into a day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and let them meet with a licensed professional without traveling. Ask about the specific session options offered at scheduling to make sure they fit your routine.
