I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, Autism Spectrum Disorder, substance abuse and gambling, grief and loss, foster care and adoption, and ADHD.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, empathy, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused brief, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our sessions and treatment to meet your individual and specific needs. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The accessibility of online counseling to work through emotions and problems is extremely convenient and beneficial for most people and a nice change from traditional in-office therapy. I check messages twice a day, Monday through Friday, and generally try to respond within 24 hours. My office hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5:30pm to 8pm EST. , during which time I respond to messages and conduct therapy sessions. I only offer messaging and live chat sessions at this time. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you!

Paul Buehler
Hi, my name is Paul Buehler, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in upstate New York with over 30 years experience in the field of mental health and direct services to youth and families. I strongly believe that developing a solid helping relationship is key to supporting anyone in addressing the changes they wish to make in their lives. After all, all change happens within the context of relationships. I have experience helping children, teens families and adults in coping with stress, anxiety, depression, adjustments to major life changes and conflict in many different areas of life. I also have experience working with the LGBSTQ2SI population as well as children and adults who have experienced trauma. Over the many years the feedback I have received from clients is that I'm compassionate, non-judgmental and truly start where they are and support them in developing or enhancing skills that help them reach their therapeutic goals. I am available by video, phone, text, email, whatever means clients find the most helpful although it is often most helpful to start with a video meeting to help establish our relationship and initial goals and plan for working together. I am available most mornings, evenings and weekends. I know how much courage it requires to take the next steps to change your life for the better, and I want to assure you, I am here to help you make the changes that are best for you.
