Paul Steele, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Paul

Paul Steele is a licensed therapist who brings 17 years of experience to sessions. He is credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and practices in Florida. He focuses on family and parenting matters as part of a broader practice that includes stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

He talks plainly and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to start tough conversations.

Background and approach

Paul uses practical methods to help people find clearer ways forward. He adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following one fixed approach. Sessions often address motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes.

He also works with issues such as trauma, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Over his career he has supported people dealing with mood disorders, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and post-traumatic stress. He also helps with blended family problems, caregiver stress, and communication breakdowns.

His work includes attention to career questions, life purpose, and men’s issues. Paul aims to meet clients where they are and to listen first. He practices Client-Centered Therapy alongside tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods when those fit the situation.

His style is collaborative and straightforward, focused on small, manageable changes. When someone is ready to begin, Paul asks a few questions to match goals and then builds a plan that fits that person’s life. He recognizes that starting therapy is a big step and treats that step with care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Paul blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to keep work both compassionate and practical. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals; it helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through family and life stresses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to manage anxiety, mood, and panic attacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paul works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He will adjust techniques as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting or work schedule and to continue work between sessions. Licensed professionals, including Paul, can use these options to maintain consistent support even when in-person visits are difficult. The mix of approaches and remote session types aims to make care practical and reachable for people managing family and life transitions.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
