How Paula’s Approaches Work Online
Paula uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression. CBT often involves setting small experiments and practicing new skills between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to draw out a person’s own reasons for change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making different choices. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients prefer brief, goal-oriented work that focuses on practical steps and what’s already working.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. She aims to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short skills practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life demands.
