About Paul
Paul Haggan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 33 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Paul approaches counseling as a collaborative effort and aims to support people taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Paul believes the person in the room knows their own story best. He centers strengths and practical steps in sessions so clients can build momentum and feel more capable. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what can change now.
In practice he uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and develop different responses. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and track progress between sessions. These methods are applied to issues such as codependency, abandonment, commitment concerns, and difficulties tied to family of origin.
Paul also works with challenges like addiction, divorce and separation, infidelity, guilt and shame, isolation, and fatherhood issues. He offers a calm, practical approach for people who want to reduce distress and improve relationships. Sessions aim to create steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
If you are ready to start, Paul supports each person in finding steps that fit their life. He invites people to bring their real worries and practical goals so they can work toward clearer choices and more confidence.
How his approaches guide online work
Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood, and problems that loop around negative thinking.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins. That approach can be useful when someone wants concrete steps to improve relationships, motivation, or confidence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time on a workday. It can also allow people to meet from a quieter setting or choose interactions that match their comfort with video or phone. Licensed professionals can adapt the same CBT and solution-focused tools to an online setting so the focus stays on practical change.
