About Paul

Paul Hernandez Jr. LPC.S brings a client-centered, collaborative approach to counseling, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and practical skills.

Background and approach

Paul draws on more than three decades of experience in mental health and career counseling to help clients address issues such as anxiety, stress, addictions, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and ADHD. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with emotionally focused and motivational strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

In addition to clinical work, Paul has extensive administrative and supervisory experience in college counseling services, where he provided individual and group counseling as well as career guidance. That background informs his focus on problem-solving and goal-oriented planning, while maintaining an empathetic and interactive counseling style.

Paul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with a long record of working with addiction, aggression control, and career development concerns. He encourages those ready to pursue change to take the next step toward greater resilience and functioning, offering support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.

Online Counseling with Client-Centered and CBT Foundations



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own problem-solving and growth; this approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, navigating life changes, and addressing emotional concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address addictive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and shifting emotional responses in relationships and can be useful for intimacy and family-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Paul aims to work collaboratively with clients to identify which combination of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused work best fits their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy. He adapts methods over time as needs and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations within Texas. These formats support ongoing access to therapy, allow for varied communication styles, and can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions while pursuing measurable goals.
