About Paul
Paul Sohr is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. He brings 15 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Paul emphasizes strengths and works with clients who are navigating parenting challenges, grief, intimacy issues, and life transitions.
He starts by listening closely to each person's story and goals. Sessions are built around clear, doable plans rather than long talks without direction.
Background and approach
Paul uses a mix of approaches tailored to the problem at hand, and he involves clients in choosing what will work best for them. Paul uses client-centered methods to create a respectful space where people feel heard. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to pinpoint unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep stress and anxiety going.
When relationships are a concern he draws on the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict habits. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are woven in when they match a client’s goals. These tools help with cravings, motivation for change, and reducing reactivity.
Paul keeps instructions simple and practices brief exercises during sessions so clients can try them between meetings. Over his career he has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related problems. He also addresses more specific topics like attachment styles, codependency, blended family issues, and concerns related to kink and alternative sexual cultures.
Paul works in English and accepts international clients.

Online support
Approaches for online change and relationship work
Paul often combines the Gottman Method, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral therapy depending on the issue at hand. The Gottman Method focuses on practical communication skills and patterns between partners, which can help when arguments, trust, or intimacy are concerns. Client-centered therapy keeps the conversation grounded in a person’s own priorities and strengths, letting the client guide goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about a client’s goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and seeing reactions, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or texting can suit quick check-ins or brief coaching-style exchanges, and messaging allows reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, travel schedules, or different time zones.
