Paul Schroeder-Haag , LPC

Paul Schroeder-Haag brings a blend of formal training and varied life experience to his work as a counselor. He holds a master s degree in criminal justice earned in 2006 and completed a master s degree in counseling in 2013. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin - a state license that authorizes him to provide professional counseling services.

Paul s practice centers on people who have experienced trauma, survivors of domestic violence, and those managing anxiety, depression, adjustment and relationship concerns, and addiction. His background includes work with people who have experienced homelessness, individuals struggling with substance use, people who have been abused, those who have abused others, members of the clergy, parents, and many others with complex life situations.

Therapeutic approach is selected to match each person s needs; Paul uses cognitive strategies when thought patterns drive distress, somatic methods when the body holds trauma, behavioral techniques to change unhelpful actions, solution-focused work to identify practical steps forward, and sometimes integrates a Biblical perspective when it aligns with a client s values.

Known for a laid-back demeanor, Paul emphasizes getting to know each person s story and staying current through ongoing study to remain well equipped to help.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Paul commonly blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to meet individual needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person s experiences guide the pace and goals of work - it is useful for building trust and exploring personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical choice for anxiety, depression, and many patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with trauma and emotional distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paul works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may combine techniques or shift focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and the ability to connect from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support in ways that match a person s routine and comfort level.
