About Paul
Paul Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, grief, intimacy concerns, and changes in career or life circumstances.
Clients meet a direct, practical clinician who focuses on named emotions and relationship patterns. Sessions aim to help people name strong feelings, spot repeated interaction cycles, and try new ways of relating that feel manageable.
Paul blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with other approaches to suit the problem at hand. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. These methods are used to address things like panic, depressive episodes, trauma processing, and communication breakdowns.
In a session, Paul helps people notice what feelings trigger their reactions. He encourages small experiments in communication and behavior to test new ways of responding. Work can include focusing on attachment patterns, coping strategies for impulsivity or shame, and concrete tools for improving daily functioning.
Practical matters are part of the plan. Therapy fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client follows the online matching steps and schedules an initial session.
How EFT and related approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and couples notice and name the emotions that drive interaction patterns. It focuses on feeling states and attachment-related responses and is useful when strong feelings are hard to put into words.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces specific exercises to change them. These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and problems with impulse control or shame.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each client to clarify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize EFT, ACT, CBT, or EMDR work.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss preferences and practical needs during the initial matching and scheduling steps to pick the best way to meet.
