About Paul

Paul Haggan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 33 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and improve relationships, intimacy, motivation, and self-esteem. He meets people where they are and supports practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

He believes clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a strengths-based view to sessions. That means highlighting what already works and building on those skills. Paul encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.

In sessions he talks through concrete concerns like relationship friction, feelings of emptiness, or low confidence. He also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and problems tied to family of origin. He aims for clear goals and steps that clients can use between meetings.

Paul uses straightforward methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those tools are used to identify unhelpful patterns, reframe thoughts, and find practical solutions that fit daily life. Conversations are aimed at understanding what matters most to each person.

People seeking help with stress, anxiety, or relationship and intimacy struggles will find a calm, steady guide. He supports fathers, men, and others dealing with guilt, isolation, or substance concerns through focused, step-by-step work. Taking a first step can feel hard, and Paul offers steady support through that process.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral changes, and tracking what improves mood or stress over time. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes clear goals and building on what already works. That approach helps people find practical steps and short-term strategies to move toward specific outcomes, like better communication or increased confidence.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He works collaboratively to figure out which approach fits a person's needs and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows focused work on stress, anxiety, and relationship patterns using the same CBT and solution-focused techniques adapted for remote conversation.
