About Paul

Paul Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a range of personal concerns. He offers a direct but compassionate style aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Paul emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more confident.

He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include talking through difficult memories, testing out new ways of handling fear, and building clearer communication habits. Paul often helps people dealing with trauma, identity questions, and the fallout from big life changes.

Paul has eight years of clinical experience and works with people facing issues such as depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those coping with shame, abandonment, infidelity, and isolation. His background includes helping military veterans and young adults, and he aims to honor each person’s strengths when planning care.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Paul blends acceptance-based tools, cognitive strategies, and emotion-focused techniques to tailor work to the person in front of him. He encourages practical experiments outside sessions so progress feels real.

People who choose Paul can expect clear, respectful guidance and an emphasis on small, achievable changes. He asks clients to help set goals and tracks progress so therapy stays focused and useful.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for chosen actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where getting unstuck matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for panic, depression, and worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on understanding strong emotions and improving how people express needs and connect with others, which can help relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. He adapts techniques over time and invites clients to try different tools to see what fits best in their daily life.

Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how Paul currently meets with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel, or family rhythms. It also allows shorter check-ins when people need quick support, and it can remove commuting time so sessions are simpler to attend. Licensed professionals can guide which approach and setup will suit your goals.
