Paul Schroeder-Haag

Paul Schroeder-Haag is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. He moved from a background in criminal justice into counseling and uses his own life experience to guide his work. He often helps people who have lived through trauma, domestic violence, addiction, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain.

He meets people where they are and shapes therapy to their needs. Sessions may focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, learning calming skills, or finding concrete steps to handle problems. He describes his style as laid back and easy to talk to, and he spends time listening to each person’s story.

Paul draws on several approaches depending on the situation, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He notices when an issue needs a thinking-based response, a body-centered approach, spiritual reflections, or practical behavioral steps. The method is chosen with the person rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Past roles have included work with people experiencing homelessness, addiction, abuse, and involvement in faith communities. Those experiences inform how he responds to grief, anger, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and panic symptoms. He continues studying current practices to stay informed.

People who value a relaxed conversation style and practical, step-by-step help may find his approach a fit. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; confirm session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences. It can involve talking through memories, building coping skills, and practicing ways to stay grounded when memories arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches steps to change unhelpful thinking and test new habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance so the person can explore concerns at their own pace and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change as people make progress or face new challenges, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives, allowing appointments during a break, reducing travel, or avoiding time spent commuting. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and options that reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, trauma-focused grounding skills, and client-centered conversation to an online setting to keep therapy focused and actionable.
