About Paul
Paul Farley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, grief, depression and life changes. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, career concerns, bipolar symptoms and questions around gender and sexuality.
Paul uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try new ways of responding, and track what works. Sessions focus on clear goals and exercises that can be used between meetings.
His approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, and he draws on Client-Centered ideas to listen without judgment. For trauma work he may use Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing where appropriate.
Paul has experience supporting young adults, military veterans, and people exploring identity and sexuality. He emphasizes practical steps for communication, managing panic or anxiety, and recovering from painful experiences.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online work can include structured worksheets, behavioral experiments to try between sessions, and specific skills practice for anxiety or mood concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven actions. In remote sessions this looks like setting small, doable goals and tracking progress over time to test what matters most.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes nonjudgmental listening and building a therapeutic relationship. Even online, this involves reflective conversation that helps people organize feelings and decide next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and how they respond to early work. That choice can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow short check-ins between longer meetings, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use different tools in remote work, such as shared worksheets or home practice assignments, to keep therapy practical and action focused.
