Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Paula integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s experiences and goals shape the work; it is useful for building self-understanding and strengthening trust in the therapeutic relationship. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress, and then develop concrete strategies to change those patterns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring ambivalence and supporting motivation for change, which can be helpful for clients wrestling with life transitions or wanting to make lasting behavioral shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula works with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She emphasizes collaboration so that the plan evolves from shared decisions rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with Paula can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into varied schedules and life circumstances.
