Background and approach
Paula emphasizes noticing how thoughts and reactions show up, then practicing different responses. She also uses skills to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Paula has five years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and holds LCSW credentials in Tennessee and Florida.
She has helped people with parenting stress, grief and loss, relationship and communication problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, self-esteem, and life changes. In sessions she supports practical problem solving for work and career concerns, and addresses issues like codependency, body image, and blended family stress. Her style aims to help people become more aware of patterns and build steps toward change.
She believes steady, small efforts can bring lasting benefit. Paula typically checks messages Monday through Friday and responds as soon as she can. She asks for patience when replies take a bit longer due to other professional duties.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Paula uses cognitive behavioral strategies that look at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It helps with worry, stress, and day-to-day coping.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are useful when feelings feel intense or when communication patterns cause conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. She encourages trying methods in real life and adjusting them based on what works for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, coaching moments, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity between appointments.
