Paula Green is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. She holds LCPC and LPCC credentials - LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and has practiced in both clinic and private practice settings.

Her background includes ten years working directly with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including time in a domestic violence shelter and collaboration with domestic violence courts. She has both received training in child sexual abuse prevention and provided training for others in that area. For the past eight years she has worked at St. Luke's Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine, counseling children and families on an outpatient basis as well as within an intensive partial hospitalization program.

Paula brings experience addressing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression, and she also supports issues related to adoption and foster care, blended families, caregiver stress, body image, and more. She prioritizes getting to know each person so treatment can be tailored to their specific needs. Paula approaches therapy with a supportive, empowering stance, helping clients take the courageous first steps toward clearer insight and meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches available through online sessions

Paula Green uses several evidence-based approaches to support clients in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client's own goals and experiences guide the pace of work; this approach is useful for building insight and strengthening self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity for people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paula collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
