About Paul
Paul D. Wess is a licensed professional clinical counselor with three decades of experience. He holds master’s degrees in psychology and sociology and completed substantial doctoral-level coursework reflected in a C.A.G.S.
Paul focuses on helping people who carry the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. He emphasizes attention to body, mind, emotions, and spirit in sessions. That means discussing feelings and patterns, noticing bodily responses, and considering personal meaning.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer thinking and more balance rather than quick fixes. Paul draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He uses these approaches to help people understand recurring patterns, accept painful thoughts without being driven by them, and test new behaviors that feel more effective.
His work often centers on attachment, abandonment, communication problems, and issues of control and shame. He also supports people facing grief, addictions, mood disorders, panic, and questions about life purpose and sexuality. Sessions can include coaching elements when people want practical steps to change.
Paul offers services in English and Estonian and practices from Ohio. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s values and goals guide the work. He aims to help people move toward a truer sense of self and steadier daily functioning.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Paul integrates Jungian therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy into his online work. Jungian therapy focuses on patterns and symbolic meaning to help people understand recurring life themes and a deeper sense of self. ACT teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions tied to personal values, which can help with avoidance, anxiety, and low motivation. Client-centered therapy prioritizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paul will listen to your goals and preferences and try methods that suit your needs. Together you can adjust the mix of depth exploration and practical skill-building so sessions feel relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and noticing nonverbal signals. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, travel, or a busy home life.
