About Paul
Paul Schroeder-Haag is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with seven years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also works with people dealing with domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, fatherhood issues, men’s issues, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and social anxiety.
He began his path after earning a master’s degree in criminal justice in 2006 and later returned to school to complete a master’s degree in counseling in 2013. His background includes work with people who were homeless, people struggling with addiction, survivors of abuse, people who have harmed others, clergy, and parents. Those experiences shape how he approaches clinical work.
Paul uses a mix of methods depending on the person and the problem. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches when appropriate. He explains that some concerns need cognitive work, some need somatic or behavioral strategies, and some benefit from solution-focused steps.
In sessions he keeps a relaxed, straightforward style. He aims to get to know each person’s story and to work with what is useful for them. He also continues formal and informal study to stay current with approaches that help people manage symptoms and life stressors.
People who prefer practical, structured conversations about thoughts, habits, and concrete steps may find his way of working fits their needs. He conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients for care based on his Wisconsin LPC credential.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Paul commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try practical exercises between sessions to change how they respond to stress and anxiety.He also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can clarify priorities and goals. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and to reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, or a trauma-focused option fits best based on the presenting issues and the person's goals. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm available session formats before scheduling since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to travel. Discussing format and scheduling during the first contact helps match helpful techniques to the practical realities of a person’s routine.
