Paul Schroeder-Haag

Paul Schroeder-Haag began his path to counseling after many years of varied life and work experience. He holds a master’s degree in counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin. He chose this career to use what he has learned to guide others through hard times. Paul aims to be relaxed and approachable so people feel comfortable talking. He has seven years of counseling experience and has worked with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and adjustment challenges. He has also supported people dealing with grief, parenting stress, anger, and self-esteem struggles. His background includes work with people who were homeless, those with substance issues, survivors of abuse, and various community members including clergy and parents. Paul adapts his approach to each person’s needs. He uses client-centered methods to follow what the person brings, and cognitive-behavioral techniques when thinking patterns are part of the problem. He also incorporates mindfulness, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused work when those paths fit. He describes his style as laid back and easy to talk with. He focuses on understanding a person’s story before suggesting a way forward. That listening-first stance guides how he chooses techniques and goals together with the person in therapy. People who want a straightforward, steady presence and practical ways to manage stress, anger, addiction, or trauma may find his approach useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. The therapist provides a supportive, nonjudgmental presence and helps people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they adjust methods over time so the work fits the person and their changing needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and letting people join from wherever they are. Different methods work well online - focused CBT tools and client-centered conversations both adapt to remote sessions. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. The goal is to make therapy workable and consistent so people can practice skills between meetings and move toward clearer, manageable steps.
