About Paul
Paul Haggan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 33 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He focuses on building strengths and helping people find practical ways forward.
He starts by listening to each person's story and recognizing the strengths they already have. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps that feel manageable. He frames the work as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life.
Paul often uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits while also finding small, realistic solutions to current problems. That combination can be useful for worries, low mood, and motivation struggles. He also addresses issues tied to family of origin, fatherhood, feelings of emptiness, and isolation.
Additional concerns he has worked with include abandonment, avoidant personality patterns, codependency, commitment and intimacy difficulties, infidelity, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and substance concerns. He speaks about these topics plainly and focuses on practical changes rather than jargon.
People who prefer a direct, goal-oriented approach may find his style helpful. He encourages taking one step at a time and adjusts the plan as needs change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How his approaches translate to online work
Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and often includes short exercises or assignments to try between sessions.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, achievable steps toward specific goals. This approach helps people notice what is already working and build on those successes to address relationship, work, or motivation problems.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable for each person, and then tailor methods to fit those needs in collaboration.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It can also let people keep continuity of care across moves within the therapist's permitted region. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.
