Paul Schroeder-Haag , LPC

Paul Schroeder-Haag entered the helping professions to turn a wide range of life experiences into practical support for others navigating challenging times. He is licensed in Wisconsin as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential that reflects formal training and state licensure. He earned a master’s degree in criminal justice in 2006 and later completed a master’s degree in counseling in 2013.

His practice has focused on people who have experienced trauma, survivors of domestic violence, and those coping with anxiety, depression, relationship and adjustment concerns, and addiction. He has worked with people who are homeless, those struggling with substance use, the abused and the abuser, members of the clergy, parents, and many others.

Paul adjusts his approach to fit each person he meets. Some situations benefit from cognitive techniques, others from somatic work, some from behavioral or solution-focused interventions, and at times a Biblical response may be part of the plan. He credits a blend of life experience, solid education, and a laid-back demeanor for his ability to connect and help.

His current clients often comment that he is relaxed and easy to talk to, a quality he intentionally cultivates. He works to learn each client’s story and remains in continual study to stay informed and equipped to assist.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. It emphasizes empathy and collaboration and helps people who need a supportive space to explore personal values, decisions, and emotional challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It uses practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences with care and structure. It aims to reduce trauma-related symptoms and help people reconnect with daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paul works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals even when in-person sessions are impractical.
