About Paula
Her counseling style is warm and interactive, and she adapts dialogue and treatment plans to fit individual goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. She draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive methods to help clients identify patterns, build skills, and strengthen resilience. Paula supports people through transitions, relationship and family concerns, grief, substance-related issues, and challenges related to identity and discrimination.
Paula prioritizes collaboration and empowerment, working to create a therapeutic experience that honors each person’s story and capacities. She supports those who are taking steps toward change and offers steady guidance as they pursue greater well-being.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space where individuals can explore their values and make choices that reflect their goals. This approach is helpful for people facing life transitions, identity questions, and relationship challenges because it centers the person’s experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers practical strategies and skill-building to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can be especially useful for people who experience intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsive behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paula works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy expands access to licensed professionals by offering flexible ways to connect. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, bridge geographic distance, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
