Orlando Counseling & Supervision
Transform Your Life with Online Evidence-Based Support
Get In TouchBuilt for people who are used to handling things themselves
You've built a career on being the one people rely on. That doesn't leave much room for admitting something isn't working — or much patience for an approach that doesn't respect your time.
This practice is built specifically around that: personable, but grounded in evidence and data. You'll get a clear read on what's going on and a plan built around a defined goal, not an open-ended process.

Doug Paul
I bring together clinical research and real-world experience — the kind of perspective that comes from working directly with the professionals I treat, not just studying them. Sessions stay personable, but every recommendation I make is grounded in what the data shows works.
- You communicate with me directly from your first message through every session. There's no front desk or intake coordinator in between.
- I respond quickly, so you're not left waiting to get started.
Insurance & Private Pay
Accepted in-network
Most clients choose to pay out of pocket rather than go through insurance — it keeps the process simpler and more private.
Why clients choose private pay
- No diagnosis or session records shared with an insurance company
- No session limits set by a plan — sessions continue as long as they're useful
- More flexibility in scheduling and session format
- Faster start — no prior authorization or waiting on approval
Payment accepted via major credit cards, FSA or HSA cards.

Common Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I'm in-network with United Healthcare. For all other plans, sessions are private pay. Most clients choose this route for the added privacy and flexibility. Full rates are in the Fees section above.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. Research consistently shows telehealth therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for the issues I treat. It also removes the commute, which matters on a packed schedule.
What states can I book from?
I currently see clients virtually in CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MA, NJ, NV, NY, TX, and VT.
What do you help with?
Individual sessions for men
Work stress and burnout, financial pressure, anger and irritability, and unhealthy coping like overworking, drinking, screen escape, or pulling away from people. Also relationship strain, isolation, and major transitions such as a career change or divorce.
Couples sessions
Arguments that keep repeating, rebuilding trust, feeling disconnected, and conflict over money, parenting, or time. Both partners are in the room, and the work focuses on how you operate together.
I've never done therapy before — what should I expect?
A straightforward, structured process. You start with a free consultation call, then an intake session to set a clear goal. After that, I build regular sessions around reaching it. It's not open-ended.
