Paul Haggan, LPC

Paul Haggan is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 33 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy challenges, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. He brings decades of practice to each interaction while focusing on practical support and realistic goals. As an LPC - which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and denotes a state credential to practice counseling - he uses his background to guide clients through difficult transitions and recurring patterns.

Paul works from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and that strengths already exist to overcome obstacles. He emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping clients identify concrete steps toward a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step toward change can require courage, and Paul positions himself as a steady, encouraging presence throughout the process. His approach centers on building on clients' abilities to address challenges and develop greater confidence over time.

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Paul uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In plain terms, CBT involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them against real-life evidence, and practicing new ways of responding - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

He also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on clients' strengths and practical steps toward specific goals. This method emphasizes small, concrete changes and builds momentum by highlighting what is already working rather than dwelling on problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Paul collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to meet consistently and to access support from wherever the client is located within Texas, while preserving the collaborative, goal-oriented focus of his practice.
