Paul Schroeder-Haag, LPC

Paul Schroeder-Haag is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. He draws on a broad range of life experiences and formal training to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. His manner is relaxed and straightforward, which many people find makes it easier to talk about difficult subjects.

He holds a master’s degree in counseling earned in 2013 and an earlier master’s in criminal justice from 2006. Those different backgrounds inform his work with people who have lived through trauma, domestic violence, substance use struggles, and other crises. He listens carefully to each person’s story before shaping a plan together.

Paul uses approaches that fit the person and the problem. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, working with present-moment awareness, or setting small practical steps toward a goal. He also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm continues to affect daily life.

Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Paul helps clients identify clear steps to lower anxiety, manage cravings, or restore healthier patterns in relationships. He pays attention to both what people think and how their bodies respond to stress.

People who choose him often want a calm, steady guide who asks direct questions and keeps goals in view. He meets people where they are, balances listening with structure, and adjusts his approach as needs change.

Approaches that fit your needs in online sessions

Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and some addiction-related behaviors.

He also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely, reflecting what someone says, and letting the person set the pace and goals. This approach helps people who need acceptance and a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort things out.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He then suggests a path to try and adjusts it as progress or needs change, keeping the plan collaborative.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
