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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
