About Paul

Paul Knoll is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He draws on three decades of experience to help people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, depression, and life changes. Paul focuses on clear, straightforward conversation and steady support as people work toward healthier routines and goals.

He creates a calm space for people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and problem solving, not jargon. Paul encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Over 30 years of work in the field means he has seen many different situations and responses. That experience informs how he tailors sessions to each person’s needs. He also addresses concerns such as career stress, intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating problems, and self-esteem challenges.

Paul includes attention to topics that some clients bring up often, such as HIV/AIDS, veteran and armed forces issues, and personality disorders. He aims to listen first, then help clients try approaches that fit their goals and daily life.

People who choose Paul can expect a direct and steady therapeutic style. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports clients as they make changes at their own pace.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Paul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps reduce overwhelm and improve mood. Another approach works on building steady daily routines and coping skills for cravings, sleep, and stress, which supports recovery from addictions and helps with depression and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your situation. If something isn’t working, it will be adjusted together rather than sticking to a single plan.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue steady support while managing work, family, or health constraints. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your schedule and daily routine.
