Paul Hugens, LMHC

Paul Hugens is a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career problems, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.

Paul approaches therapy with the assumption that each person knows their life best. He listens for strengths and existing resources, and helps people put those strengths to work when situations feel unmanageable. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings and on learning patterns that keep them stuck.

His background includes long experience addressing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and job-related strain. He also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and complicated feelings like guilt and shame. Codependency and communication problems are part of his practice when they affect an individual’s wellbeing.

In sessions Paul talks through what matters most to the client and helps clarify realistic goals. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns while paying attention to practical life demands. Therapy conversations are direct and focused on skills people can use right away.

People who come to Paul often want clearer boundaries, better communication, or help managing mood and impulsivity. He helps with planning next steps, weighing options, and building routines that support daily functioning.
