About Paul
Paul Scheppf is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with eight years of experience. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, anger, and questions about life purpose. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and career or major life changes.
Paul uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. He practices client-centered ways of working, brings mindfulness into sessions, and uses motivational interviewing to help people consider change. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and stronger communication rather than jargon or pressure.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them test small changes. That might mean trying breathing and awareness practices, rephrasing difficult conversations, or weighing options for a career move. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change.
Paul has worked with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, substance and alcohol issues, and the stress faced by first responders and veterans. He also helps with fatherhood questions, isolation, jealousy, forgiveness, and problems that follow infidelity.
People meet him when they want direct, practical help sorting an emotional problem and deciding what comes next. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match your needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, checks understanding, and helps someone find their own answers. It is useful for decisions about career, relationships, or life purpose.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress, grief, and anger by offering tools to steady attention and calm physical responses.
Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to uncover personal reasons for change and to build momentum for small steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about goals and preferences and pick methods that make sense together. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
