About Paul

Paul Sohr is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and a wide range of intimacy and life-change concerns.

Background and approach

With 15 years of professional experience, he draws on both brief, solution-oriented interventions and longer-term therapeutic work to address issues such as self-esteem, anger, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and career transitions. He also brings attention to related matters like attachment patterns, codependency, blended family dynamics, and sexual diversity topics including BDSM and kink.

Paul works from a perspective that centers the client as the expert in their own life, using that foundation to build practical coping skills and strengthen existing resources.

His palette of methods includes cognitive behavioral strategies to reframe unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness techniques to improve present-moment awareness, motivational interviewing to support change, and relational tools influenced by the Gottman Method for partnership work. He aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore goals, experiment with new behaviors, and move toward greater clarity and functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Paul commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for managing stress and emotional reactivity. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems, while mindfulness teaches simple attention and acceptance techniques that can reduce rumination and improve self-regulation.

He also employs motivational interviewing when clients are weighing changes such as addressing substance use or shifting relationship patterns. This collaborative, nonjudgmental approach helps clarify personal values and increase readiness to act. Paul emphasizes a team-like process in which the client’s goals, preferences, and lived experience guide the selection of methods and pace of work.

Online therapy with Paul is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care without travel, allow for brief coaching-style check-ins as well as longer therapy sessions, and support continuity when life circumstances change.
