About Paul

Paul Germany is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who aims to help people managing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

He brings two decades of experience in mental health work and adapts his approach to each person's goals and circumstances, combining empathy with practical strategies to address day-to-day struggles and longer-term patterns. His training includes a BA in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in clinical psychology from Stephen F.

Austin State University, followed by continuing education that supported licensure and a broad clinical skill set. Over many years in clinical roles, including work in medical center settings, he has used evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and existential perspectives, choosing the tools that best fit a client's needs.

Paul emphasizes collaborative care, tailoring sessions to individual preferences whether someone seeks coaching, short-term problem solving, or longer-term therapeutic work. He welcomes clients who want thoughtful, respectful guidance while they navigate grief, career transitions, parenting challenges, or complex mental health concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's own priorities guide sessions; it helps people feel heard and supported while exploring change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for strong mood swings or overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul aims to collaborate with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he will adjust strategies as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative process helps clarify whether brief skills training, longer-term therapy, or a mix of approaches is most appropriate.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from a licensed professional without major disruptions to daily life, and they allow ongoing access to tools and coaching between sessions.
