Paul Paladie, LICSW, LCSW

Paul Paladie is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Minnesota with three years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He also focuses on coping with life changes and related concerns.

Paul uses a straightforward, strength-focused approach. He centers sessions on the person's present concerns and the strengths they already have. Sessions often include skills practice, guided reflection, and concrete strategies to change patterns that cause trouble.

His background includes work with veterans and first responders, and with people managing substance use concerns and impulse control problems. He has experience addressing mood and panic disorders, trauma-related issues, and anger or communication problems in daily life.

Clinically, Paul draws on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Mindfulness, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and Motivational Interviewing. He uses these tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, reduce intense reactions, and practice different ways of responding.

Sessions aim to make changes that fit a person’s life and responsibilities. Paul works with the practical side of mental health: learning skills, changing behaviors, and planning next steps. He encourages less self-judgment while people try new ways of coping.
