About Paul
Paul Haggan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 33 years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. He also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, codependency, commitment issues, divorce and separation, and substance-related problems.
Paul frames clients as the experts on their own story and highlights personal strengths as tools for change. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract discussion. He aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding in day-to-day situations.
Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and build small wins. Together, these approaches support short-term problem solving and longer-term skill building for common relationship and mood concerns.
In sessions he usually focuses on concrete strategies - tracking patterns, testing new behaviors, and reviewing what works. People who want direct, structured work on specific problems often find this approach useful. He encourages practical homework between sessions to keep progress moving.
Paul practices in Texas and conducts work in English. He emphasizes collaboration about goals and methods so clients understand the steps being taken. To begin, he asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so they can identify priorities and next steps.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Paul draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT in brief means identifying a specific worry or habit, trying a change, and reviewing what happened. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and problems that repeat in relationships.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy which focuses on small, practical goals and building what already works. That approach is about defining a clear next step and measuring progress in short, manageable chunks. Together, these approaches aim for direct, skills-focused work rather than open-ended exploration.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Clients and he choose tasks and experiments that match the person’s preferences and schedules.
