About Paul
Paul Scheppf is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Tennessee with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and social anxiety and phobia.
Paul uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and real-life problem solving rather than jargon. He listens for what is getting in the way and helps set small, doable goals for change.
His approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person's perspective central. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports those who want to change behaviors related to addiction, health, or routines.
In session Paul helps people sort through relationship and communication problems, work through guilt and shame, and address issues like isolation, anger, or career stress. He also supports those dealing with veteran and first responder stress, fatherhood-related concerns, and the impact of domestic violence.
Paul explains treatment options in plain terms and checks in often about what is helpful. He asks about day-to-day routines and suggests skills that can be practiced between meetings. He also discusses how subscription-based scheduling and payment work so clients know what to expect before their first appointment.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy in Paul’s work means conversations that follow what the person brings up and focus on their own goals and values. It helps when someone needs to sort out feelings, make decisions, or improve relationships.Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce flooding feelings and build steadier responses to stress. These skills can help with anxiety, grief, and anger by creating short pauses before reacting.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change when habits, substance use, or motivation are in question. It supports people in weighing options and choosing next steps that feel doable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will talk through what feels most useful based on a person's goals, preferences, and everyday life. He uses discussion and short practices to test what helps and adjusts the plan based on feedback.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by saving travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use phone-only meetings if bandwidth is limited or video is not wanted. Many people find this flexibility helps them use therapy more consistently.
