Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore their feelings and build on their own strengths; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing practical strategies to change them, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits, coping, and emotional responses, and can be helpful for some issues such as smoking cessation, certain anxiety presentations, and habit-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paula works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and shorter check-ins can occur via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
