About Paul

Paul Buehler is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He brings five years of documented practice to his online work and focuses on building a respectful, steady relationship with each person.

Paul aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer goals and daily routines that feel more manageable. He uses straightforward conversation to help clients cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.

Background and approach

He also supports people navigating parenting concerns, intimacy and relationship questions, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Paul pays attention to how life events affect day-to-day functioning and mood, and he helps develop practical skills for those moments. Sessions typically begin by identifying immediate concerns and small steps that can make a difference.

Paul draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Client-Centered Therapy to shape conversations around each person’s priorities. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and calm in stressful moments. He also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, and social anxiety.

The approach is collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to communication skills and boundaries. Paul aims to help people find manageable changes rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

People start by completing a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support

How Paul’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship where the client sets the goals and pace. It helps people who need someone to hear their experience and work from there toward changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find patterns that increase distress and then tests small changes to improve daily functioning and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He often blends approaches so the plan fits the situation rather than forcing a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used early to establish rapport and set goals. Phone sessions can be a good choice when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can work well for check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written exchanges. These options make scheduling easier across mornings, evenings, and weekends and help therapy fit into busy lives.
