Paul Buehler, LICSW, LCSW

Paul Buehler is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of documented experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, and codependency.

Paul focuses on building a dependable working relationship as the starting point for change. He prefers straightforward conversations about what is causing strain and what small shifts could ease daily life. Sessions involve practical skill building and clear goals rather than abstract theory.

His background includes working with people who have lived through trauma and those who identify as LGBT. He also brings experience around adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, attachment concerns, and aging-related issues. That range helps when problems involve family history or long-standing patterns that affect current relationships.

In session Paul uses Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness among other approaches. He combines listening with concrete steps - for example, practicing different ways to set limits, testing small behavioral changes, and noticing what works in real life.

People who prefer clear, practical guidance tend to find this style helpful. The first meetings focus on naming priorities and agreeing on simple, measurable steps to try between sessions. He asks people to check progress and tweak plans as needed.
