About Paul

Paul Haggan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 33 years of experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or problems with relationships and intimacy. Paul invites clients to take a first step toward more fulfilling, happier lives and offers steady support along the way.

He works in a straightforward, strengths-based way. Paul starts by listening to each person's story and identifying practical steps that fit their life. He uses tools that target thoughts, behaviors, and problem-solving to reduce stress and build confidence.

Paul draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and try new ways of responding. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, manageable goals and track progress over time. These methods are used to address issues such as commitment concerns, intimacy worries, codependency, and feelings of emptiness.

Clients may also explore family of origin topics, fatherhood issues, and challenges that come after separation or divorce. Paul supports people working through addiction, infidelity, guilt, shame, and isolation by focusing on realistic changes and small, actionable steps.

Paul aims to create a calm, direct setting where clients can speak plainly about difficult topics. He believes people carry resources they can use to change and works alongside them to discover those resources.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, then practice different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is often useful for stress, worry, and self-esteem work.

He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable goals and build on what is already working. This approach is practical and keeps sessions aimed at real changes clients can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paul will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them. Therapists often mix tools to fit what the client finds most helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about scheduling and how sessions are typically structured to see if the arrangement fits your routine.
