About Paul
Paul Buehler is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He draws on five years of practice as a psychotherapist and a long career in mental health to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Paul aims to build a respectful, steady helping relationship as the basis for change.
Paul’s style is warm and non-judgmental. He focuses on meeting people where they are and working at a pace that feels manageable. He supports clients in developing practical skills for daily problems like parenting stress, relationship friction, and low self esteem.
In sessions he uses a mix of client-centered listening and practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and increase present-moment awareness. Solution-focused work helps set clear, short-term goals and steps to reach them.
Paul also draws on motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change, and he applies trauma-informed ideas when people have a history of abuse or loss. He has worked with issues related to grief, intimacy, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses social anxiety, attachment concerns, and life-purpose questions.
Sessions are conducted in English and organized around each person’s goals. Paul encourages an initial conversation to clarify needs, then builds a simple plan together. He aims to make therapy useful and relevant to everyday life.
