About Paul
Paul Sohr is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience. He works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, anger, relationship problems, grief, and parenting challenges.
He frames clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on practical strengths people already have. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Paul invites clients to name what feels most pressing and then maps simple steps forward.
Paul uses a mix of approaches rather than one single method. He draws on client-centered work to keep discussions focused on the person's priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Mindfulness tools appear in sessions as short, teachable skills to manage stress and reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change, especially around substance use or other habits. The Gottman Method informs work with communication and relationship patterns.
In practice, Paul offers straightforward planning and check-ins. He helps people notice triggers, test small adjustments, and track progress over time. He also supports those dealing with difficult family histories, attachment questions, infidelity, and sexual or alternative lifestyle concerns.
To begin, he asks people to describe their top concerns and current obstacles. From there he and the client set clear, measurable goals and practical homework that fits everyday life.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach keep conversations grounded in what matters most and let the client set goals and pacing.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In a session this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing alternative behaviors, and using short between-session exercises to build new habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress in the moment.
Paul treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. That choice can change as work progresses, and he checks in regularly to make sure the approach fits.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the situations where they normally occur, so changes can be tested in real time.
