Dr. Paul J Dousi
Marriage & Family Therapist, ThM, PhD, LMFT
I am a marriage and family therapist in Minnesota and Texas with over 20 years experience. The people that call me are typically struggling with anxiety, depression and relational issues. My first job is to clearly understand what you are going through. You will find that I am very caring and diligent seeking to understand what you're experiencing. My goal is to provide Hope and Action, not just a Conversation. My promise: that each session will provide hope with encouragement.
With good humor, I will be gentle as I challenge where things need to change. Undergirded by God's help we will search the Scriptures. I will support you and promise you hope and action and not just a conversation. I can't wait to get started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
