About Paulette
Paulette Plummer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief, and major life changes. She brings 26 years of experience to conversations about mood, relationships, parenting, and day-to-day coping. Her plain, steady approach aims to make therapy practical and easy to follow.
Paulette uses a culturally aware style that pays attention to how background and identity shape emotion and behavior. Sessions focus on clear goals, better communication, and manageable steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns of isolation, shame, or self-criticism and helps clients replace them with more helpful habits. The work often blends client-centered talk with problem-solving tools to reduce intense feelings and improve daily routines. Cognitive ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test more balanced ways of thinking.
Motivational methods help people find inner reasons to change when they feel stuck. Paulette also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track what’s already working. That makes sessions feel action-oriented and hopeful rather than open-ended.
She supports practical change in areas like communication, parenting stress, work-life balance, and managing mood swings. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English and adapted to each person’s circumstances, goals, and pace.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it works well for processing anxiety, grief, and identity concerns because the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck by clarifying personal reasons for change and building commitment one step at a time.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. That might start with open conversation and then add short practical exercises or focused goal work based on the client's needs, preferences, and day-to-day realities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging or chat can help keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain consistent support over time.
