About Paul

Paul Moffett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He has practiced in inpatient, outpatient, residential, and independent practice settings. Paul focuses on practical help for everyday struggles so families can move forward.

He meets people where they are and works alongside them to address issues like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. He also supports people coping with life changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, intimacy questions, and self-esteem difficulties.

Background and approach

Paul draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. His work uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also practices client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and respect.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment work help when relationships and closeness are the main issues. Throughout his career he has worked across many settings and with diverse populations. He has a master’s level certification as an addictions counselor and brings that experience to clients with substance-related concerns and co-occurring problems.

His style is straightforward, reality-based, and focused on clear steps that people can try between sessions. In sessions Paul aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk through hard things and try practical changes. He helps families and individuals set realistic goals and build tools for handling conflict, stress, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them small, practical steps to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then tries methods that change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas center on closeness and patterns in relationships, helping partners or family members shift how they respond to each other and build more stable connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will help identify which methods suit a person or family based on needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to be collaborative, adjusting techniques as therapy unfolds so the plan fits real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide options when schedules or comfort make them a better fit. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and involve family members when appropriate.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
