About Paul
Paul Buehler is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Washington (WA LICSW LW) and New York (NY LCSW). He has five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns and works with people facing parenting and relationship strains.
Paul uses clear, practical language in sessions. He aims to build a dependable working relationship and helps people identify small, actionable steps. He often starts with current problems and goals and then introduces skills that fit day-to-day life.
His work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also draws on mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing informs his approach when people are deciding whether to make a change.
Paul has experience with grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career and life transitions. He also lists additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and caregiver stress. These topics often come up alongside stress, anxiety and trauma.
Sessions tend to emphasize practical problem solving and skills development. Paul encourages people to try small changes between meetings and then review what worked. He prefers to establish the working relationship early, often beginning with a face-to-face or video meeting to set initial goals.

BHow sessions work
How Paul blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying concerns and helping people set their own goals. It is useful when someone needs a place to talk through what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical techniques to test different ways of thinking and acting. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with emotion regulation and stress reduction.Picking the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques in-session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means starting with what feels most relevant and changing methods if something isnt working.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats in detail. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can cut travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera when that helps. The focus in sessions remains practical: setting clear short-term goals, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing progress together.
