About Paul
LICSW, LCSW in Minnesota with three years of clinical experience, Paul Paladie helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders and trauma. He works with depression, bipolar conditions, panic, grief, anger, self-esteem and life changes using client-centered methods and practical skills.
Paul emphasizes a client-centered approach that builds on the person’s strengths. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, emotionally-focused work and motivational interviewing to address thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions focus on clear strategies rather than abstract theory.
His background includes work with veterans and first responders and experience addressing substance use and impulse-control problems. He also addresses relationship difficulties that show up as attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and the effects of separation and domestic violence.
In sessions Paul often teaches emotion regulation and coping skills from DBT and CBT. He uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and to increase present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change substance use or other habitual behaviors.
Paul describes his work as strength-focused and practical. He helps people reduce self-judgment, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice different responses.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and perspective. It involves listening, reflecting, and supporting the client in identifying goals and making decisions that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus over time based on the client’s feedback.
The biography does not list particular online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work, phone sessions may need less bandwidth, and video sessions allow skill practice with visual cues. These practical options can support consistent progress without replacing in-person considerations.
