About Paul

Paul Moffett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, residential, and private practice settings. He draws on long experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Paul takes a straightforward, practical approach and aims to build a trusting space where people can begin emotional healing.

He uses plain, goal-focused methods that match each person's needs. Sessions emphasize real-life skills and decisions rather than jargon. Paul combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and attention to emotions and relationships.

Many people come for help with relationship struggles, codependency, intimacy, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and substance use. He also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar concerns, anger, and self-esteem issues. Paul has worked with a broad age range and settings over his career, which informs his flexible style.

In practice he aims to make therapy useful and manageable. That can mean short-term work on specific problem-solving or a longer course focused on deeper attachment and relational patterns. He adapts pacing and techniques to what feels most helpful for each person.

Paul holds a master-level addictions counselor certification in addition to his LPC credential. He works in Alabama and conducts sessions in English. If someone is unsure what to expect, he encourages an initial conversation to discuss goals and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters in life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where values-based direction matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills for day-to-day challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people who notice repeated relationship struggles or codependency patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to use ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a blend that fits the situation.

Confirm available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing check-ins during a lunch break, or offering video when face-to-face time is difficult. It also makes it easier to keep steady work on relationships and coping skills when schedules or distance would otherwise get in the way.
