Paul Dokey, LCSW

Paul Dokey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, attention difficulties, and other life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can take when emotions become overwhelming or start to interfere with daily life.

He uses present-focused conversation to help people sort out what’s happening now and decide what to change. Paul leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and offers skills to shift those patterns. He also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions without being driven by them.

Paul trained in social work and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology. Over two decades he has worked with people facing depression, PTSD and trauma, complicated bereavement, and relationship problems. That experience informs how he listens and the practical tools he suggests.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and grounded in everyday concerns. Paul talks through concrete strategies for handling anger, improving communication, and reducing reactivity. He emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.

Clients who reach out can expect clear, task-focused discussions alongside attention to emotional experience. He accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and the logistical details through the platform.
