About Paul
Paul Scheppf is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with eight years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and major life changes.
He focuses on practical, direct conversation. Sessions center on what feels most urgent to the client. He uses listening and reflective feedback to clarify what’s getting in the way and what can change next.
Paul draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person's priorities. He also uses mindfulness techniques to help with intense feelings and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change. These methods are applied in straightforward ways during sessions.
In practice he pays attention to patterns that affect everyday life, such as work stress, isolation, or substance use. He also addresses issues tied to family roles, fatherhood, first responder and veteran experiences, and recovery from domestic violence or infidelity when those topics come up.
People who choose him can expect clear, solution-focused discussion and practical steps between sessions. He asks about current goals and adjusts the approach as needed. Paul works in English and accepts international clients; his LCSW is registered in Tennessee.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps set priorities for change. It is useful for relationship challenges, career stress, and life transitions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to notice thoughts and physical reactions without getting overwhelmed. These techniques can help with anxiety, anger, and grief by creating space to respond instead of react.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that explores a person’s readiness to change. It helps when someone is uncertain about steps like reducing substance use or making a big life change by highlighting personal reasons for change and small next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit current goals, preferences, and needs. He adjusts what he uses as progress and concerns evolve.
