About Paul

Paul Moffett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, residential, and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

He has worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups, bringing a long history of supporting people coping with depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting struggles, and a wide range of life transitions.

His background includes a master's level certification as an addictions counselor, which has informed work with co-occurring disorders and substance-related challenges. Paul emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered approach that blends cognitive and behavioral techniques with reality-based strategies and attachment-informed perspectives.

He aims to build a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can engage in the emotional work needed for change. Based in Alabama, he offers services in English and accepts international clients, drawing on decades of experience to tailor treatment plans to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical access

Paul integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression, and it often includes practical skill-building and homework to reinforce progress. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness strategies to help clients accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful change, which can support coping with grief, stress, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach happens collaboratively; Paul will work with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. He tailors interventions over time, combining techniques when appropriate so the plan evolves with the client's needs rather than relying on a single method from the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to continue therapy while traveling, balancing work and family obligations, or when an in-person visit is impractical, and they allow ongoing access to a licensed professional regardless of geographic distance.
